ECLIPSE

In 2018, a 9,000-year-old stone mask was discovered. Nine millennia covering our faces and pursuing the utopia of being others. We were already masked when we saw the first eclipse and, frightened by the superposition of the sun and the moon, we stopped a battle (1375 BC).

How many identities can coexist in one person? Is any of them more true?
Maybe the one on our ID card or the one hidden in our computer history? If we are masked, what is our identity?

ECLIPSE is an incomplete catalogue on anonymity. It is a conference. A performance. A concert of fictions.
