spirit-energy that enables each and everyone of us the opportunity to search for self identity.there is only one way in finding the initial impulse in the conspicuous fragments of the body language:running away from the double sidedness of our own selves and disassociation from all the variables and trends."One" means one of a kind.

“Les Bancs Publics”
Francesca Selva Company - Italy
Benches as witnesses of any waiting, of destines of ordinary foolish. Benches as indulgent prose which are bear of a graffiti, a engraving memory which becomes an absurd memory of passenger loves or existential loneliness. So, first I was at the public garden. The root of the chestnut in the ground, just under my bench.

I didn't remember any more it is a root. The words were vanished, and with those the meaning of the things& ; the root, the cancelling of the garden, the bench, the grass of the garden, it was all vanished& It's all non sense, this garden, this city, myself& .
( J. P. Sartre, “La Nausea” )

Gameplay is

a game that we play with ourselves

a game of possibilities and impossibilities

a game for and against our own body

a game of acceptance and non-acceptance

a game in which desire causes vulnerability

a game in which we lose and win at
the same time
