“Now, where? Now, when? Now, who? Without asking to myself. Saying it myself. Without thinking. And saying that are questions, hypothesis. Going ahead, saying it is going, it is ahead.”*

Hamlet, Ophelia, Nina and Stanley, characters of Shakespeare, Tchekhov, Tennessee Williams, Heiner Müller and others cited by Propositário Azul’s guile get together in a non-linear narrative. In this particular place that we’ve named “Hotel Flamingo”, literature and theatre classics seek for their existence’s meaning, beyond the words that brought them to life. A place where everything is nearly possible. A place where all becomes clear, or nearly all.

Where almost everything is possible.
Where everything gets clear or almost everything.
It is searched, it is forged meanings to go ahead.

“Without coming from anywhere, without going anywhere.”*
*Excerts from O Inominável, by Samuel Beckett.
