"A SIGNAL THAT TRAVELS DOWN THROUGH YOUR HEART episode #1", is a kinetic eulogy to romantic love, where stereotypical narratives about being-in-love fall short.

From the shocking philosophical statement of Sophocles's Antigone about the invincibleness of love to the heartbreaking vocal interpretation of Whitney Houston in "I will always love you," we understand that love is triggered by encounter, unfolds according to the way that lovers perceive the world and remains a matter of two.

But what happens when the sensory environment, as a key point of reference, is deconstructed and love is described simultaneously not by two, but by three female bodies in the contemporary era?

Throughout the kinetic vocabulary through the analytical research on modern reflection of romance, the piece unfolds the hidden aspect of love, beyond the roots of patriarchy to revisit and redefine the concept of love itself.
