Based on a true story, the play “Cocoon” is opening the space where complex liaisons between keeping silent and speaking, searching for the proper language, within the theatrical context, to speak of internal and external mechanisms of child sexual abuse. This play represents an emotional, distinctive landscape of a trauma. It is questioning the presentation of theatre in a collection of scenes, images and songs, stemming from the research process.
A new bold attempt to experiment with the theater group thats presents a symbol of free theatrical expression for more than 4 years. This is the search for a new one, with a strong desire to honestly convey their own emotion from the other side of the stage.
