– Did you read the book?
– I did.
– Did you really read it?
– A bit. So you didn’t read all of it??
– Not all of it, no.
– What do you mean you didn’t read it all?
– But who said we had to read the whole darned book?

In Crime and Punishment we create a dialogue between Dostoiévski’s work and the debates about punishment, exclusion ion, guilt, transgression ion, in order to reflect in our own process of creation ion. During it, we negotiate and renegotiate the rules, while the action ion develops and time goes by, amplifying the position of who makes the mistake, who fails, who loses the game and who steals the act. The big act ion.
