The visual project is based on the idea of verticalisation of the narration, with the generation of a new level of visual suggestions.

The physical space crossed by the actors is a ball of light that evokes the image of a cell, an atom, through which the passage, collision, dance and the union of the characters take place.

The way the space is brought to a vertical level is through the projection and generation of a new ball of light (cell – atom) mirroring the one projected on the floor’s stage.

The presence of the vertical cell reconstructs the dualism brought on stage by the actors.
A gigantic, pulsating atom, reverberated by the warmth of the locations of the narration.

Through its contraction and expansion, the cell becomes a microscope and a “macroscope” that explores the interior the physiological and emotional human processes.

The atom becomes a window, allowing the viewer to cross the body and matter, assuming a new point of view, investigating the relationship between two atoms, two cells – two bodies, two souls – making the invisible visible, a journey that reveals the ultimate truth: Nature legitimizes itself as the only human law.
