A search on the limit between the self and the other person, a stage performance in a time marked not exclusively by the performer but by the audience itself
Lourdes is the story of an encounter, or rather several encounters. It is the tale of those who have been and those who have never been to Lourdes. There are those who imagine it, those who detest it, those who would have liked to go there to ask for a miracle. It is a conversation, a series of dialogues that occurred over time between the artist and several people, not in chronological order but through narration and memory, in order to remain inthe present of stage performance. Thus temporal dimensions overlap, connecting the paths of the past with those of the present. Tangible voices, real testimonies from which to start for a clinical observation of the “Lourdes” phenomenon.
