A gaze that is confessional and introspective, that serves as a \u201cbeacon\u201d to document an intensely personal and silent state of being.<br \/>\nA dual female figure, two sacred yet perishable forms, merging into one character, one \u201cpersona\u201d &#8211; indirect reference to Ingmar Bergman\u2019s film \u2013 but in essence, they portray a dual nature with distinct and contrasting concerns. Two powerful performers intertwine and coexist, whispering incomprehensible words in a profound existential relationship of harmony, companionship, authority and imposition.<br \/>\nThe piece is a poetic transition from the subconscious to the conscious part of existence, depicting, through a cinematic and at times abstract narrative, the deepest reflection of desires and impulses that are rooted in the memory of the body, the dreams, and all that constitutes the human body.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Credits<br \/>\nConcept &amp;
