How to reconcile solitude with everyday chaos. A Solo Comedy Drama by and with Julian Azad Bonnet about Life, Love and Loss...
LIMA, where routines and individual paradoxes resist – against all odds – the turmoil of convulsive and
cacophonous environments.
“No city, no crowd, no dirt, no noise, just air, pure air.
It feels like I’m born again.
Lying on the water, it rocks me.
My ears under water, it cuts me off reality.
For a moment I feel back in my mother’s belly.
Lulled by the amniotic fluid.
I could stay here forever, and I think:
I’m a lucky man...
what a lucky man... ”
