"An apparently normal life can suddenly turn into an unexpected story, a dream or plain memory. One might regard this a natural sounds, but what would happen if the echo awakes another creature? This is why I dealt with the imaginary power of the sudden and unexpected and used means of music and dance to create a moving world of dream sounds (sonidos de un sueño)."
