The team performed a play named “The Echo of Silence”- which revolves around Alicia who is accused of killing her husband Gabriel, and Theo, a psychotherapist trying to make her speak and uncover the truth.  As Theo investigates, Alicia’s traumatic childhood and abusive, controlling relationship with Gabriel come to light.  A turning point reveals Gabriel chose to save himself instead of Alicia in a life-threatening situation, breaking her trust completely. This betrayal shatters Alicia’s perception of love, leading her to kill him. The play explores the dark side of love, trauma, and how human emotions can lead to destructive choices.
