What is this book about?

A writer, giving a lecture on poetics, reads from notes she made three years earlier during an experimental theatre project in Panama. The project’s director wants a group of amateur performers to enter imaginatively into a real case from 2014, in which two Dutch tourists died in the jungle in circumstances that were never explained. To prepare, the participants tell one another stories of danger and rupture in their own lives. Then they set off on a two-day expedition into the forest, following the route the two women took.
