“I won’t be quiet” | Cirila Bossuet and Isabel Costa

“I won’t be quiet!” said Alice arriving at the Queen of Heart’s croquet ground.

“Off with her head!” replied the Queen of Hearts.

It is through a game of words, where the main focus is the confrontation of ideas, that Alice questions the world in which she lives, justice and the rules of a game where the odds seem to be stacked against her. In this performance, a board divided into two invites the spectators to transform themselves into a jury and to act as advisers in a great rhetorical battle. Come and join in!
