CAPRA - or how to say hello to fear by Roxana Ionesco

CAPRA - or how to say hello to fear is a performance based on an ancient pagan tradition from Romanian and Moldovan collective memory - the New Year's goat. A ritual that buries the old year to welcome the new one - always in celebration.

A story that challenges the limits of reality by reinventing this tradition. Four women try to overcome their greatest fears by confronting the entity Frica. What lies beyond our fears?
