How far are we willing to go, as democracies, to fight against this phenomenon? What freedoms are we ready to give up just to feel safe? What choices do we make in times of crisis? And what abuses have been committed in the name of the war on terror? Let's explore these captivating questions together!

Our show was inspired by a fascinating US Senate report released in December 2014, which revealed that the CIA used enhanced interrogation techniques on terror suspects for years in secret detention centers around the world. Interestingly, evidence suggests such a center may have even existed right here in Romania! The performance takes the thrilling form of an interrogation in one of these secret centers, where a suspect is questioned by two investigators and subjected to a dramatic series of trials. We can't wait to share this powerful theatrical journey with you!
