Four people navigate a system of wheels and the space between them. The tragicomic situation of these bodies, as they struggle to control and move forward while clinging to a massive wheel (the quintessential symbol of time), leads to a grotesque and endless symbolic confrontation with the problem.
The performance is a revelatory, transformative journey, an allegory for the passage of time. It is the “9:25” train, in the sense of the departure of the scheduled service. And it is dedicated to those moments when you pause, look around, and realize that time is racing by and sweeping everything away. Everything. An invisible force that shatters certainties and stages the wildest scenarios, without allowing for any objections. And there comes a moment when you need to stand tall and say: “It’s my turn now—wait—let’s go at my pace; don’t rush me, don’t stop me, don’t lead me.” .
9.25: The moment of departure, the violence of departure, the violence of “leaving behind,” the necessity of leaving behind, of going elsewhere, the necessity of rebirth, of a new cycle of life.
Because there is probably this power and this possibility—the chance to start over, to be able to take life up again from the beginning.
As the philosopher says:
“Every day we are one day poorer, and the realization of how swiftly our existence is passing would perhaps drive us mad, were it not for the secret feeling, in the very depths of our being, that we are the custodians of the inexhaustible source of eternity, which allows us to continually renew life.”
