The production is based on four surrealistic texts of Alberto Giacometti: “Yesterday, Quicksand”, “A blind man reaches out the hand in the night…” , “Paris without an end” and “The dream, the Sphinx and the death of T.” The production is inspired by Giacometti’s sculptures, drawings and texts to create a visual poem of its own. His work is the starting point, like a trail, which leads to a new place. An invisible place appears where visual and performing arts unite with literature. An approach in spoken and written words, drawn and danced lines, figures, sounds and plaster castings, shells and stones.
