Under the influence is the attempt to rebuild after a collapse.
Reconstructing a moment of splendor, the distant peak that represents the awakening for the sleeping characters, in conflict with the void that inhabits them. The space around is the projection of an interior landscape, and the ordinary rhythm of the action is the expression of something invisible, an unknown state.
The subjects on stage are not free, they have not chosen the place in which to be born nor their names, they move inside a given space where they try to restore a phisical and emotive relationship.
What is missing? How to find a space of freedom?
Questions coming from the hunger to express an interiority that has no exit channels, destroying everything.
