Skin and Bones

As a part of our second year's Independent Projects, one of our second  years, Bita, wrote a play called "Skin and Bones." This play was rather abstract, with a lot of physical actions.

There was also a projector that kind of presented the environment in which the scene was taking place.

This was entirely about that, the only communication that happened between the characters was physical. Here are some pictures of the performance:
