And silence will come when it is due, not the silence imagined by you - Anna Koval and Estela García

A poetic performance essay "And silence will come when it is due, not the silence imagined by you"— part ritual, part lyric, part political testimony, part dance work.

What happens when the act that creates life is mirrored by the act that destroys it?

Birth becomes separation. Motherhood becomes responsibility. War becomes an inheritance carried through the body. A single performer moves between the voices of mother, daughter, witness, philosopher, and mystic, tracing the fragile line between personal memory and collective history.

Blending spoken poetry, movement, and video, the work searches for what remains after separation, violence, and transformation, and asks whether silence is an ending, a refuge, or another beginning.
