Dance-theater company Mute Comp. enlists
the help of Ariel Dorfman to explore the core of the human
psyche. Based on Dorfman’s prize-winning play, the
performance explores the story of a meeting between victim
and perpetrator, revenge and justice, dark desires and
common sense.
The past is revealed in the course of a single night where
a women get her chance to avenge what took place in the
past.
By chance she is confronted by a doctor. A doctor that
might be the one that tortured and raped her under the
now fallen dictatorship.
But is it really him?
