With their sixth production, Skin Poem for a Cosy House, Los Escultores del Aire close their trilogy on memory. Skin Poem for a Cosy House is a journey through the five stages of grief: denial, anger, negotiation, depression, and acceptance. A couple lives in a small apartment. They get up, go to work, go back home tired, and then start all over again. One day he forgets to arrive on time to celebrate his birthday. The couple argues; she gets frustrated by the preparations for a failed celebration. Angry, she decides to go out for some fresh air. She leaves without saying goodbye or apologizing. She never returns; she unexpectedly dies in an accident. He must live on with her memory and the pain of her sudden departure. Surrounded by shared memories, his little house becomes a museum of mixed feelings, which, together with her belongings, must be put away in a box, symbolically saying goodbye.
