El rumor y los insectos
Ferrando, Ignacio (1972-)
A large corporation proposes an experiment to a renowned anthropologist. The company has recreated the life of a village of the eighties located in an inaccessible and idyllic valley of the German southwest. Most of its inhabitants are androids apparently indistinguishable from humans. In this installation, existence seems to flow apart from the rest of the world, but the protagonist will have to solve the ritual suicide of three adolescents that is repeated invariably without a reason to justify it. For the professor, no machine would commit suicide of its own accord and, therefore, solving the enigma of his death will mean definitively erasing -or not- the barrier that separates men from machines. He will also have to deal with doubts about his own past and whether what is happening is real or part of a representation. The rumor and the insects is a fast-paced philosophical thriller in which its protagonist never steps on solid ground.
