The show opens in an old room where a loner lives.
His days are synchronized with the rise of the sun and the light of the moon.
His only companion is the portrait of a woman that hangs on a wall above him.
He stares longingly at the image until one day she seems to come to life and enters the stage.
From then on a love story unfolds marked by the rhythm of bodies and music.
In this performance, mime and classical music come together to give form to an array of emotions that would normally be fleeting, like trying to catch water in your hands.
Unlike theatre with spoken words, music and visual arts usher the audience away from rationality and into a vibrant imaginary world of emotions.
