Two characters, a dance performer and a jazz guitarist discuss about fear through the incarnation of music, words and movement. In a hypnotic atmosphere, generated by dramatic transitions in light, the nakedness of silence and the entangled melodies of an electric guitar, the piece unravels the fear that evolves from profound changes. Weaving existential poetry through images and movement, interlaced with texts by Franz Kafka and Ani Difranco they face the emptiness that arises when the parameters that sustain life collapse.
Maybe fear cannot be defeated, only understood.
