Loco7 is an underground universe. It takes place in the New York subway, where a young man lives all the different cultures until he turns sixty and dies. The spectator is unaware that he is being seduced by the show in which the music, the film, the dance, the acting, the game come together. Surprised, he discovers that he is not just another spectator but rather a part of the action.
