A site-specific performance, a small poem, in dialogue with the works of Koltès and Beckett,
dedicated to all the invisible people of the world.
"In a place where we are all alone, a person claims, by crossing a threshold, to share for a moment their loneliness with the loneliness of others. To transform the process of aimless wandering into a form of shared freedom."
"In this modern world, where you increasingly feel that you are balancing on the margin of society, the only thing that is certain is what Zygmunt Bauman argues: you observe people who are ‘outside’ of society and you say to yourself, I won’t become like them, I’ll have a bank account, a phone, a social security number, a tax ID, and so on. What you fear is becoming one of those others, the invisible ones to the system. You convince yourself that you are not one of them. You want to believe you are visible. How true is that?"

Inspired by the new space that now hosts it, the performance is not a repetition of last year’s version, but a transformation—giving birth to an entirely new experience. This second incarnation follows in the traces of the original, while acquiring a new body, inviting the audience to rediscover it from the beginning.
