In the beginning it was “me and many”, then it turned into “many and me”, and finally it was just “many”. Not that I got lost, forgotten, diluted or evaporated, no! I simply placed myself where I really belong. Really, really slowly, that was the most important thing to understand. Yes, there are many of us!!! Many and little!! There are many of us, little and young!!

Lilliput is a journey through the human being. Undertaken by tiny human beings. So little that when compared to those beings, which cover the whole stage, we are giants. Giants! Imagine the size of someone who believes we’re giants! With great care, we’re able to see them and listen to them through cameras and sound amplification, and… those little beings may talk about us! Come to think of it, there are also many of us, little and young… — Ainhoa Vidal
