An examination of the small pleasures and displeasures of our daily lives through moments stolen from the intimacy of an ordinary day. This reality, suddenly considered from a different point of view, appears to us with the contours of novelty and finds the value of what is discovered. It is the art of metamorphosis imposed on the everyday by the imagination.
Two universes inspired and irrigate the piece, The Weight of the World, a diary by Peter Handke, and the paintings of Edward Hopper.
