A cry to old people that

A woman who lives alone and doesn't have the strength to open milk cartons. A choir of elderly people from a home who dream of dancing like Pina Bausch. A parking attendant who controls old people and not cars. Moriu-vos speaks to us about old age in a society that sets it apart and ignores it, but it also speaks to us about rebellion, memory, forms of escape, fantasy and memories.

It was an unmitigated triumph. A victory of life over life itself. Living and growing old with dignity. And so... what happened?
We ignore everything that is not productive or reproductive fullness. An ageist, discriminatory treatment determined by the aging of a body. A collapse of the humanism we took for granted. A kind of bullet that we shoot at ourselves now, so that it fully impacts all of us in a few years.
This collapse puts the atavistic senses that we had exiled to the highest shelves of the bookshelf in our grandparents' house on alert. A kind of fear of ourselves that makes us work on the naive search for meaning, exercising the memory of the body. Reasoning with the tension of our muscles, with the fixed gaze and the gesture that unites: survival instinct and chaos. Writing about who we were. Trying to restore the primary order of all things. Of when we were people.
