Punishment  of the group  La Memoria Theater  it is a singular spectacle. Here, the word is minimal and so is the gesture. The little that happens does so very slowly like the boy looking into the mirror, the maid preparing the table for dinner and then serving the soup, the prayers before the meal, the maid singing while the family eats. After the punishment the boy receives from his father, realism is abruptly shattered by a snowstorm that invades the house and annihilates almost the entire family (the boy gets away with entering the scene after the disaster with an air of victory and revenge ). Based on an autobiographical text by August Strindberg, the show is very beautiful and has features of Nordic Europe reminiscent of paintings by the Dutch painter Vermeer.
