In order to express this pain, four dancers will meet through a moving scenography, where lightwork and music will be the predominant tools used to develop the subject and highlight the distortion of the bodies. Because that is the genuine topic: the deterioration of the brain and of the bodies; a gradual and irreversible disintegration; a fading memory that emphasizes the necessity of remembering the whole human being before the mind was struck by the illness.
