L'evento
is the story of a journey. A journey in search of peace and liberation, a journey into the depths of a being who has a great desire and at the same time is afraid to reveal himself. This character finds as the only way out a circle, the wheel, which takes him out of his own head, from his own cage built only by his thoughts. The circle will make him enter the dynamic of just "letting himself fall"; a game of loss and recovery of balance. It is the story of the tribulations experienced by a character hidden and lost behind his mask, his carapace, his jacket which becomes a metaphor for an intentionally chosen prison. It is the story of a prayer, of a request for liberation and peace, of the struggle of a being against himself.
