The team responsible for the adaptation also concerned to strengthen the feminine vision of the piece, giving greater emphasis to these characters. according to Marcio, the Chekhov texts always have women flagship, but, in this case, "They have a function of generating transformations and changes in routes, triggering small revolutions. "
The director considers "Why Do not We live?"A current and relevant piece. "The show aims to reflect and think our downfall today and where we go from a perspective of the individual as collective power to change". For him, "Every existence, every life is dynamic, turns and turns the other ". In this sense, who is living is "who seek to live their uniqueness in line with a more collective sense of the world", not only as a "tyrannical assertion of the subject."
The show is divided into three parts, together with different languages: a first that characterizes director as "an act of coexistence", in which there is a closeness to the public; the second is "sensory" and features an image joint work Marcio created alongside the visual artist Bat Zavareze; and, finally, as the last part, the director calls "more stripped of theatrical elements" for seeking a 'statement of a crudeness of the presence of those bodies.
