There are few words in this startling hour-long production about a young protester in Latin America who disappeared at the age of 23 and whose remains were found in Calama, Chile. Sometimes those words emerge in flashbacks of Alicia’s life. At others, her exhumed bones utter testimony of state brutality and betrayal. More often, though, this scorching drama is delivered through music, puppetry and movement that immerses you emotionally.
