The experience entitled The island of stories is the moment of an inner, personal journey. An immersion with your eyes closed to reach or experience clear and deep sensations. The perimeter of the space becomes the epicenter of a sudden shock, in which paying attention, being curious, trusting or simply trying to imagine, automatically become potential regenerative and cultural actions. A process that tries to extend beyond the moment to invade the plots of everyday life, in order to trigger methods of replicable actions for future survival. The parenthesis of a different temporality that overlaps with a conditioned and predominant temporality.
