“Antonius Adalfuns” is inspired by a text from “The Duplicate Man”, by José Saramago.

From the perspective that life results from the sum of all our choices, a duet was created that reflects the various perspectives, thoughts and internal dialogues that each Being may have. How does thought and consciousness influence you? How does paralysing and frantic fear numb your perception?
