VACUUM/KENO:
A man and a woman.
A woman trapped in her silence, or not?
A human trapped in oneself?
What will be the outcome?
The title ΚΕΝΟ:\ VACUUM is inspired by one definition of the word: approached as «emptiness» which can be the result of the loss or disappearance of something. This «something» may be the soul and emotions of a person, missing from a set (a relationship) and could be treated as the result of a catastrophe. This eventually leads the person to finally disconnect from the reality of things and an internal struggle begins, in the attempt of finding the personal path again.
