Hi,
How are you?
So, the show’s opening will be Wednesday, February 10 – and the show title will be “A night out of town”.
The show is now (and finally) having that vibe like when you find yourself leaving a city or a village, or wherever you are surrounded by people and lights, and you start walking by yourself at late afternoon/sunset, keep walking in the countryside to spend a whole night out of the town’s doors.
Everything you’ll bump into during the trip could be just rumors or animals on a distance, but your imagination might transform them into some strange creatures or apparitions. It can also be a meditative night; when drawing inspiration from a tree or landscape you meditate on yourself, on future personal roads to take – or you might dream of the past or the future, and memory’s lines start to blur.
Indeed it can be a trip of lucid dreams, but no nightmares or bad endings, because in the title itself you can see an happy ending coming back to town (or to reality) when the dawn comes.
Let me know what you think,
