SÍM

Opening on Saturday, April 13th at 8pm.

If only I could stay focused and not get distracted. All my senses are telling me just to go, just go there; it's a garden, it's a magical place and I long for it for some unpredictable reason. I put on a playlist on my Spotify, chosen because of its name, “Forest Bathing”. It calms me down, and now I can work. For a bit.

And I can hear you say, “This is our little mistake, do you remember? Do you remember it?”
