A political, experiential and deeply contemporary theatrical proposal dealing with pushbacks and their multiple extensions: social, moral, human. The performance – a creation of the Hola_Lathos group – attempts to illuminate the voices that are not heard, through a contemporary theatrical idiom that combines speech, music, movement and soundscape. The performance was created through collective research, recording of testimonies and artistic processing of real events. It is a cry of resistance against border violence and the silence that covers it.
