Making a synopsis is always terrible. Especially for those who do not like to create constraints and expectations in the spectators and want them to make an effort to think and construct meaning with who is on stage.

Writing a synopsis is always an act of compromise, a creation of expectations and a sort of intellectual agreement between artists and the audience. It’s a connection between what the audience will see and what they expect to see. We can always make “a synopsis dressed in black” – one that does not compromise with anything, that speaks about the context of the presentation, that speaks about a distant starting point, that spreads intentions, one that has an inspiring quote from an author or an extract from the text of the show. This could be a way but the tricky task of writing synopsis dressed in black is a skill that’s not available to everyone. We accept this, we can’t do it and above all we don’t’ want to do it.

And that’s it, this synopsis is coming to an end 
 and nothing
 not even a reference about the theme, a starting point, an idea to explore
 nothing. Just a meta-textual synopsis that talks about the act of writing a synopsis. Well, “we said nothing about what the show is”, but with this synopsis we say a lot about what this show is. See you soon.
