Six artists "dancing" with Black and Light and Multicolored Darkness in Plato's "Cave of Ideas"
Six artists of direct descendants of the ancient "rock writers" meet in the immune prison of matter to envision the outside world, Freedom and the cellular joy of every being that is undisturbed under the Sun, in the dimensions of others, secret but also plausible, obedient obviously ...

Shadow requires the existence of at least one light source. The love of the human body, the attraction for the human body leads to the erasure of the figure, as a result of a secret volcanic eruption, an impasseless flood that was not told in the news, the collateral loss of a meteorite fall, quadruple windstorms ... or simply disappointment, deeply rooted in our madly paralyzed cells, where, however, in stubbornness of the Almonds Kassandra, instead of sorrow optimism goes ....
