Kalman Segal’s report, here told by Alexander, is autobiographical. It is about processing the trauma, caused by the horrors of WW II and the Shoah.But this story and it’s stagingcontains also the joy about what has been before, like a longing cry for life.

The colourful painted costumesstand in opposition to the bizarre, pointed forms of the chaotic structure of many stacked chairs, who remind us sometimes of the turmoil of life, sometimes of the ruins of war.
