With *Venir meno*, Sproccati invites us to enter the palace of Hypnos, the Greek god of Sleep, and to immerse ourselves as a collective body in the darkness. From this vantage point—hidden from view and connected to the deepest states of being—two iridescent figures emerge. At times, they might be mistaken for visions of Hypnos himself, who, by lulling us into eternal sleep, would free us from work, competition, and the exhaustion to which our performance-driven society subjects us; at other times, these shape-shifters seem to take on the appearance and intentions of Battista, Francesca’s partisan great-grandfather, who helped liberate Italy from the fascists, embodying that energy of collective struggle and resistance against the injustices of the world. 
In this immersive environment, the performers tell their stories through live music and textual interludes. From the impossible encounters between these two figures—their models and their mirrors—a space for unfiltered sharing opens up, allowing us to try to rethink ourselves together as a temporary community.
