A musical theater performance about the effect of a traumatic experience on individuals.

Topics such as the five stages of grief and self-healing are addressed and revealed here. The performance also aims to open a conversation about vulnerability with the audience in an interactive way.
Why is the topic of vulnerability in people's feelings/ lives so sensitive and difficult to discuss, both in eep private and in an open space? Is it possible to create a safe space in a performance in which the audience can connect a participate their vulnerability?
