Are you aware of the fragility of your existence? Maybe you need to be reminded of this whilst having a good time with this therapeutic performance. Come and join us, you will get .... a massage!
This is what members of this Korean company do, or rather, the citizens they have trained ... as street masseurs! Come to the Margarita Xirgu Square and take part in a kind of Asian ceremony that will make you feel more humane. Allow yourself to experience a different type of massage where you will be wrapped in paper. This paper, with which you will be completely covered, will be used to draw a silhouette of your body that will become an ephemeral and fragile creation, so thin and delicate ... as a piece of paper. Wind, fire or water create dramatic scenes by making your copies disappear therefore making you face a fact that’s as true as it is terrible: your own vulnerability. This confirmation, however, will end up becoming a reaffirmation of your humanity, in one common point that connects you with men and women of all ages and conditions.
