Mythologies
A man wakes up with exacerbated sense of smell, a woman has lost sens of touch, a man takes his wife for a hat, a woman sees only half of her plate, half of her face, half of the world.
The clinical cases dealt by the neurologist Oliver Sacks in his book The Man Who Mistook his Wife for a Hat all present more or less serious disturbances of perception and sensation. They give a glimpse of a world of which otherwise we would have no idea, a world of music, pictures and metaphors.
Six performers give life to this primitive language and take us into the heart of the melodies and inner scenery of consciousness.
