MAIS IMAGINARIUS

Routine settles in like a mechanism that rarely stops. Repeated gestures, overlapping schedules, a daily life that moves forward by inertia. Between obligation and momentary escape, a figure emerges, trapped in a cycle of effort, fatigue and compensation, trying to maintain balance within a system that never slows down.

The action unfolds over the course of a recognisable day, crossed by banal objects that accumulate tension. Bottles, a chair, a wheel, simple elements that are organised and disorganised within a precise physical game, where virtuosity exposes wear, persistence and risk. Humour appears as a deviation, not as relief, creating proximity while keeping the conflict open.

Through direct contact with the audience, the space becomes a shared territory of exposure and choice. The ending does not close or resolve, it suspends. Letting go, transforming, persisting or changing remain unstable possibilities. Wine O’Clock leaves the essential question hanging in the air, to what extent do we continue to repeat when we already know that something needs to be interrupted.
