"The journey of each of us toward our other half truly begins at the moment... of separation. When the sphere in which, like in the little nest imagined by Plato, the couple was meant to live in an eternal embrace, is broken. And the two, thrown into the world, each with and toward their own fate. From this moment, the search begins. To succeed, one must overcome obstacles, confrontations with others, with the elements, with personal phantoms... Driven by the magic wand of a malevolent, omnipresent Joker, possessing countless faces. A kind of tester' with whom, in one form or another, at one time or another, we all come face to face: NEUNUL'[NON-ONE]. When, like in fairy tales with dragons and fairies, the two find each other again, from the horizon emerges ONIRIUS' - a 'planet' that becomes a natural and long-awaited refuge. A sphere where they are certain to rediscover the warmth of that primordial embrace they nearly lost. Onirius offers a parable - at times a forked path, at times an interwoven one of initiatory journeys. A series of trials at the end of which it's not just about finding one's other half but also about rediscovering oneself. And for the audience, it is an invitation to let themselves be carried by imagination. To dream...," said Gigi Caciuleanu.
