After the scenes on various topics, the audience engages in discussion and always speaks in the third person. Although they tell stories about violence in this way, it is easy to understand that this is their own story or the story of someone close to them. Scenes based on reality have an impact on people of all ages. Therefore, audience involvement is always active.
