A trip always starts from an abandonment. Who goes away? Who stays? Look.
Two souls walking under the rain, companions in the tragedy.
I say. I ask. Where are they going? Who are they waiting for? Shadows.
They walk together in a fanfare, they're companions until the very end.
Before even the last breath is gone, faints navels.

In this performance, created as site-specific, the show changes around the space and the scenes, organizing several voices, characters and movements, all of the living together in sort of antechamber of life.
Two bodies travel in the afterlife, side by side with the tradition, the epic topos of discending in the Underworld. Who would ever going to the Hades, nowadays? Looking for what? No heroes, only background actors. They meet, they recognize each other, they walk together and they lose themselves in each other, until their final separation.
