A group of students from art school develops a final project under the guidance of one "Mistress". They work based on a medico-legal report, reconstructing the details of a crime. Feeling that the school year is fast approaching its end, the students, quickened by anxiety and fear, descend into conflict. Blinded by despair, the group throws their shackles, tragically ending the life of two people. This is a show about the trails that art education blazes into the realm of invention - that happy place where the human soul connects the Earth and the celestial abyss. A play that tries to contribute to an honest debate about freedom, Art, love and the power that resides in the various "-isms" - chauvinism, racism, fascism - and all other manifestations of fear.
