A hurricane moves forward cheerfully, invites us on a journey in which fragility and strength coexist. The main character, Jonc, is a young man with functional diversity who takes part in the most important casting of his life while exploring the ideas of desire and identity. The director observes him and guides him through this first journey. He lives to love. No one knows what a body can do until they discover the effects of what it is capable of.

The piece becomes a reflection on desire as an act of affirmation, resistance, and freedom. Accompanied by music, Jonc moves through his emotions and memories, following the yellow tiles that symbolize his path toward expressing his desire from his intimacy, identity, and autonomy. Along this journey, Jonc’s voice is accompanied by others who have already travelled that same path; their experiences become a dialogue that questions, reaffirms, and supports the existential questions that arise when it comes to desiring and living in today’s world with a 75% intellectual disability.
