-But I can't dance!
-You teach me a poem, I'll teach you to dance.
On the fourth night of Luís Mestre's Tetralogy of Seasons, we meet two millennials in an abandoned holiday resort. They've just met and don't know they're there for each other; they want, in that hot summer, to feel a cosy, intangible lightness, something they lost early in their short lives. They've been through two asymmetrical crises in ten years: the financial crisis and the pandemic. On the surface, they talk about banal, light things. But what they really want to say, what they really talk about, voice and body, is their anxieties and fears.
