AMNESIA
[ Spain; Bosnia and Herzegovina ]
Fields of interest: Historical Memory, Transformative Arts, Cultures of Peace, Non-formal and Transformative Education, Human Rights, Resilience
A group of young actors relive scenes of a war that they did not live through. At the same time, two women of different generations and very different backgrounds share a common experience linking them in a very special way: both have suffered the ravages of a civil war. They promenade down the landscapes of their memories through their recollections and silences. Little by little, they dare to speak about what they had decided no longer to remember, at a certain moment in time.
