synopsis
“Minerva” is born from the need to experience the emotional state alternating different physical states referring to stories of people before us in the same body. Minerva becomes the time capsule focusing on what is hereditary. It questions the relationship we have with our ancestors and the connection we have with the past from the present. Try to understand the power that is transmitted and inherited from woman to woman; who they have been and what they have left us. She embodies a woman of the present full of stories from a past that she does not know but intuit. She travels through a tunnel of stories where the notion of time is disappearing, therefore she suffers from physical and mental schizophrenia.
