EL AGUJERO Y LA BALA

The French philosopher Jean Alouch holds that when we lose a loved one, we mourn someone who, in dying, takes with them a small piece of ourselves.

In this exercise, Tamara invites her relatives to consider what Omar Cubas took with him when he was disappeared by the armed forces in 1975, during the Uruguayan military dictatorship. Each participant writes their answers on a small blackboard in white chalk.
