The production was available as video-on-demand from April 6, 2020 to July 8, 2020.

Romeo Castellucci's art runs through a tension that becomes effective in the process of making his pictures and that cuts into our knowledge of the unconscious. She goes to the heart of the neglect of the gaze that characterizes our time. For Castellucci, theater is “the occasion to think, to think about seeing, to see seeing; becoming aware of being confronted as a spectator with problems that were deliberately designed just for him – it is the discussion of what it means to be a spectator.” The latter is mercilessly confronted with images that question who want to be seen, who need to be seen. The attraction of these images reaches the core of the nervous system,
