(2013, multidisciplinary work for music, actors, video and puppets) 

Performes: Román Lamas, Mara Mantelli, Patricia Martínez
Scene, puppets: Román Lamas
Music composition, video: Patricia Martínez
Direction: Patricia Martínez and Román Lamas

Multidisciplinary work freely based on texts by Ramón Gómez de la Serna. ‘Inconceivable’ poses a number of playful scenes as poetic microcapsules, where the narrative guides a labyrinthine journey that leads to a complex of multiple transversalities of aesthetic languages. Live music and music deferred in other temporalities. Images, video windows that come into contact with Other realities. Puppets and scenic spaces that open unexpected places. Characters playing life. The healing of the body, bodies that heal themselves. Bodies that are soul: soulbody.
