Based on official documents, testimonies, historical research and analyses of similar periods in Argentina, Guatemala, Chile, Spain, Germany, Ireland, Israel and the United States, "Silence Is Health" is an aesthetic approach to the pressing debate on human rights, warning us of the symptoms of a horrific pattern too often repeated throughout History.

Diseñada específicamente para el espacio de representación, Silencio es Salud es una obra documental que arroja luz sobre los temas de la psicología de masas, el miedo, el individualismo y el olvido. Está basada en documentos oficiales, testimonios, investigación histórica y análisis de períodos similares en Argentina, Guatemala, Chile, España, Alemania, Irlanda y los Estados Unidos, y es un acercamiento estético al pertinente debate sobre los derechos humanos. La obra intenta atraer la atención sobre los patrones de represión que se repiten a través de la historia ante la mirada impotente de los pueblos.
