Exposed by Audrey Quinto

… we also happen to laugh while watching three female dancers that talk to each other in an unknown language, vaguely onomatopoeic, rich in expressiveness and gestures, which reminds us how similar to each other we are: we quarrel and rejoice for the same things, little and simple… In a succession of solos, duets and trios, the three performers dance together and alone without affecting the sphere of the other dancers’ personality, even though the physicality of the contact moments makes them appear as one entity, as one body that moves in the space.

The beauty of the three dancers reaches its peak in the final scene, which summarizes and reveals not only the woman with her great significance, but, again, the differences of the three dancers on stage, who represent all women. In this scene rich of expressivity, even though simple, one after the other each dancer goes on stage, takes off her clothes and puts them on the floor; then, with only nude colour underwear, she stands still, looking at the audience, her palms facing the audience. No confession can be more dispassionate, sweet and sincere than becoming naked in this manner. Especially because later they redress each other up, in a scene where we feel moved in seeing how they take care of each other in putting on the clothes. In a loving way, as only a mother, a sister, a female friend or a daughter can do it; as only a woman can do it.
