The performance will be exactly as follows: Performers are on stage and breathe. The audience is breathing as well. All are alive.
This performance takes as starting point the intensification of breathing, underlining its opposite: what if it stopped? What if presence disappeared? What if what we take as granted would only be revealed by its absence?
