TARSIUS MITEM 14

No one has told us how to talk about death. We’ve been told that suicide is taboo. But, if it cannot be spoken about, how can it be understood? And if it cannot be understood, how can it be avoided?

Tarsiers are endangered primates that cannot reproduce in captivity. When they feel trapped, they self-harm, kill individuals of their own species, and even commit suicide.

Six young people with very different realities inhabit a meaningless, dehumanised and absurd world. They hardly know each other but, like tarsiers, when they find themselves on the edge, they join together with their fellow humans in a common cry.

“A perfect metaphor to address the problems of young people and adolescents of the current generation, immersed in a river of pressures and circumstances against which they have to fight and with a lack of concrete horizons.” Recomana.cat, by Ferran Baile.
