She has accustomed us to glittering, playful works, and here she offers a new shade without losing any of her freshness. She stages atmospheres of discomfort and saturated unease, driven by a breathtaking rhythm where complex, rapid gestures unfold relentlessly until the very last breath. At times, the piece evokes the three Parcae, the goddesses who preside over the fate of humankind. For each mortal, they measure out a life: one spins the wool (birth), the second winds the thread (life unfolding), and the third cuts it (death). This symbol-laden piece remains firmly anchored to its target: the human being, with all their strengths and weaknesses.
