A performance about violence, without words, and using music and mime as a way to communicate violent situations and reflect on them.

A performance about violence, without words, and using music and mime as a way to communicate violent situations and reflect on them. That is why this show is not recommended for children under 16. Solo viola music includes pieces from Baroque to contemporary.
