The subject of Welcome is the principle of all life: to be confronted with the unexpected death and his lack of judgment.

For  the religious, death is possibly the entrance ticket of deliverance and  eternal happiness for others, the abandonment of all earthly joys for  nothing. Yet in both  cases, it is a place that sometimes feeds a fertile imagination, many  agree that there may be: the famous "white tunnel."

Sas between life and death, he would be aware of it. This is partly where the action is of  Welcome . Death is seen as a small business.

In this dream, we see our life cycle with its joys, sorrows, successes and failures. We  can try to coax it Morta, the mower, to hope for a reprieve but his  aides, along with jellyfish, such sirens in the Odyssey, will charm us  in a thousand ways to make us yield to the temptation of a rest endless.

We  often imagine a heavenly paradise but the depths and the creatures that  inhabit them may contain eternal life secrets like this sponge-old  12,000 years or variety of jellyfish which cells regenerate  indefinitely.

In  Welcome  , I have fun tender and burlesque way of making the tragedy of the  human condition: the awareness for each of the inevitable end that is  promised.

Surrounded by actors, dancers and singers, I imagined this new creation in homage to the living and ephemeral show ...
As.
With them with you, we will laugh to death for perhaps better accept it.
