A portuguese man visits the town of Beirut year after year. He is several people that are always the same. Several men that year after year walk the same path throughout one day, in centre Beirut. The city changes, it metamorphoses at the mercy of times’ erosion and History’s convulsions. This man never changes but he always lives different days in each visit. The days that the ever changing city allows him to live.
This show starts from the supposition that in each city there is another city, an underground city and that underneath that city there is another and another, in an endless number of hidden cities that time reveals in the most unexpected way. These underground cities are at the same time past and future, they are all that no longer exists or does not yet exists in the present.
