Gesche Wurfel | At the Hands of Persons Unknown

Pictura Gallery presents At the Hands of Persons Unknown by Gesche Wüerfel.

Music by the Elena Escudero Quartet

FROZEN by Bryony Lavery is the story of three people: a serial killer, the mother of one of his victims, and a psychiatrist that is studying the minds of serial killers. Told over the course of two decades, Frozen looks at loss, hate, fear, redemption and forgiveness. Told primarily through monologues, the audience goes on an emotional journey
