THE GATEWAY
An unfamiliar visitor, an entity from a parallel universe enters our space-time universe.
Does this mysterious extraneous presence come from light years away or from within us?
Who is the intruder? Who examines who?
The guests were invited to step into a futuristic atmosphere as if they had entered a different universe, landed in another dimension.
In a dark space, they are faced with a very tall creature surrounded by asteroids. The creature asks questions, such as: Can you feel my presence? How did you get here? Are you on an explorative mission? Did you plan to come here or was it an accident? Is it the first time you come here? Should I be alarmed? How long have you been observing us? Do you carry peculiar weapons? Do you speak English?
Long blond haired clones enter the space, asteroids start flying. Times stops, rewinds, starts again.
A dinner is served. Guests eat, drink and leave, passing through a strongly lit corridor where the creature greets them again with more questions: Are you sure you want to go back to your life?
Are you sure you want to go back to weeds in your garden and your dripping faucets? Are you sure you want to go back to toothaches and sore knees? Are you sure you want to go back to typhoons and hurricanes? Are you sure you want to go back to terrorists and wars?
Don't you want to come with me to the peace and beauty of the off-world?
But you had to be there
