A strong gust of wind blows over the Pompei’s antique theater. Gripped by the sudden gale, the people stand still like the statues they were looking at. History seems arrested to be played back. Times mingle. Slowly ash ascends back to Vesuvius. Six recomposed times I. Just after... II. Long ago... III. Moment when... IV. Just before... V. Long after... VI. Here and now.
