| Description |
A powerful, shocking work: theatre of bombarding images- and some strangely beautiful- of relentless sound, of startling light. There are ten performers on stage and not one of them utters a syllable...they create images of the most terrible suffering: Australian prisoners of war in Japanese camps |
