Between presence and absence, Sinapse Colapse inhabits the interval where memory begins to fail. A journey crossed by stories, gestures and connections that slowly unravel, leaving traces, repetitions and silences. As synapses break, orientation is lost, patterns persist, and states of agitation and emptiness are traversed. Yet nothing disappears entirely.

What fades in one place reappears in others. Learned gestures, inherited objects, presences that hold what can no longer be remembered. The experience unfolds within this fragile territory where living and losing coexist, where identity fragments and time ceases to be linear. Contemporary circus and dance give form to an invisible process, revealing a state of continuous transition, made of failures, deviations and successive collapses.

Sinapse Colapse does not observe loss as an end, but as transformation. Even when memory falters or collapse sets in, something continues to circulate. We remain in the marks left on others, in shared movements, in memories that survive beyond those who lost them. Between presence and absence, until the last synapse separates us.
