Inspired by "Alice in Wonderland" by Lewis Carroll, the show explores the contrast between the "power" nowadays, embodied by the queen, symbol of upper middle class and childhood that is open to many possibility of fantasy and creativity. Alice has to come out of her room to discover her identity, has to open to the world by interacting with it, through humour and has to solve her conflicts opening to the real world. The subdivision of a space through a wire stand for the division of Alice’s room with the space of the queen which is symbol of power.Two mirrors mean the look of an individual on the submission, the sphere of identity, the thoughts of Alice, represented by so many Alices (dancers dressed like her), An actor is the caterpillar, the wise, the one who reveals the codes, which anticipates what is going to happen.
A contrast between power and potency, a polarized scene of two symbols, norm and practice of a relationship that is a possible approach to the world.
