A letter written to someone who will never answer, a memory exercise, a dance in the shadow (or in the light) of Nigel Charnock, performer and co-founder of DV8 Physical Theater who died in 2012. Marco D’Agostin pays tribute to his memory without nostalgia, trying to answer a simple question: what would you write to someone who will never read your words?
