Project

“Let my cry be heard loud”. Research project through theater document on suicidal behavior in young people (18-30 years old). Eight anonymous interviews have been used as a starting point to create a theatrical performance based on the real testimonies of the people interviewed. During the stay at Faberllull, the theatrical script will be written from these eight testimonies already collected and analyzed for several months, and will be interpreted literally by professional actors and actresses, who will wear headphones on stage at the same time they interpret, following the Headphone Verbatim technique.
