A theatrical choreography that uses dramaturgical elements of different periods combining symbolism and dance- theatre techniques. It is a personal narration of the history of drama and of the small dramas of the performing artists.

Therefore the name of the piece, "The Voice of Melpómene", the muse of drama.
