The project tells the story of a soul through the universal language of water. Beginning as a single drop, the protagonist awakens with the innocence of Mimì, discovering herself like the first ripple on a still surface. She becomes the moonlit lake of Rusalka, where dreams and longing flow beneath the calm. Water then transforms into steam and fire with Carmen, revealing passion and untamed freedom, before condensing again into the gentle fountain of Susanna’s Deh vieni and the playful currents of Zerlina’s Vedrai, carino, where love takes on lighter forms.

The journey returns to its source in the Ukrainian song, where rivers become memory, homeland, and roots, before dissolving into pure light in Miquel’s contemporary work, as if water itself has become energy. Finally, in Nessun dorma, every drop joins the infinite ocean of the universe, where the individual voice merges with the cosmos, reminding us that, like water, we are constantly changing form yet always remain the same essence.
