Programme

Winter Journey is a journey into today’s desolate European winter, in the desperate loneliness of those who are forced to leave their country to embark on lands where they can beg for a handful of life.
The work is made of fragments that reveal the depth of an interior landscape in the center of which stand three souls fleeing, or waiting. The protagonists are a man, a woman and a child. Around them, a politician, and a chorus of men and women who state their reasons for rejecting or welcoming foreigners.
Whether you call it a love story between a man and a woman, or between a child and his parents, this is a story that goes beyond the ordinary boundaries of love. Loss, pain, loneliness, despair and irony are the different intonations of the voices that chase you in a tragic conversation, which sometimes takes on the feverish tone of desire, others the lyrical and poignant tone of absence.
