“They are the elect to whom beautiful things mean only Beauty”.

Thus wrote Oscar Wilde in the preface to his novel “The Portrait of Dorian Gray”; and once again, as throughout the book, he makes us consider the significance of all that happens. Beauty, youth, immortality, love … and so many ideas make us seem like the protagonist.
“For nearly ten minutes he stood there, motionless, with parted lips and eyes strangely bright. He was dimly conscious that entirely fresh influences were at work within him. Yet they seemed to him to have come really from himself.” "LORD" is –among other things- a reflection of human nature, of the influence some exercise over others, of the influence which Society exercises over individuals …

 -“Good influences do not exist. All influence is immoral;
immoral from the scientific point of view.
-  Why?
-   Because to influence someone is to give of your own soul.
The object of life is self development, to achieve fullness in the most perfect way possible. That is why we are here.”

… And what does a usurpation of another’s liberty and essence mean?
“Liberty is just a bad moment through which one has to pass”.

We don’t intend to tell a specific story but rather open our arms, close our eyes and enter into this challenge of scenes and images, with which Oscar Wilde confronts us. "And so, you are like everyone else, caught in flagrant act of mortal sin and you know what divine punishment is: the hell in which you are living”.
