There are four performers in front of us, on stage. They came to tell us the story of The Baron, a story by Branquinho da Fonseca. They are prepared, by the way they look at us. They're expectant, with the pupils wide open, like animals prepared for an attack. They have a purpose, every day, to find desire. The drive that inhabits them, the hidden place that they cannot always access. They then resort to The Baron's short story as they know that in this story there is an inspector who does not like to travel and who highly appreciates his status, and an eccentric Baron with a dark past and lost passions. All paths are open, when, on a stage, we mix actors and desire.

To find, in this search, an idea of desire and something hidden in the unconscious, a movement. A hand lift, a song, a disposition of the body that makes us, even for a second, access the place we want: that of an absolute contemplation of the beautiful. We know it is impossible, but we are unable to resist.
