Information for the Audience: 

“Cain’s Shadow” is set in the dialectics between violence and nonviolence,  proposing  a reflection on a real construction of meaning for the future.  Therefore, in a place and at a time when the frantic search for material wellbeing blinds man, denying him the chance to look towards the future; the intention is to develop an ethical conflict of generations that puts adults in comparison with what, by definition, we could define the generation of the future: children.  Intergenerational conflict: present and future. Investigating the meaning and intention of adults to build a future , leading to a reflection on the construction of tomorrow on an ethical basis.
