>>Lenz makes tangible in an impressive way the use of language in therapy as an intense physical
experience.<<
Alexandra Seibel, Der Kurier
Shadow boxing is a training exercise where the boxer trades blows with their reflection. In other words, a shadow boxer is someone who fights themself. After committing a violent felony, passing an anti- violence training is Ahmets last chance to take his personal and occupational future into his own hands. A challenging test that he can withstand only with difficulty.
