The "Ulyxes" deals with the possible role options of the time we live in within the individual, using, as ways of expression, musical and visual means. It is an opera of consciousness, meaning, by the word opera, its single-genre character, and the complex presentation of the different forms of art.
The question is: Are you within the Time? Or do you exist outside of it?
"The stage (even the stalls and the cafe outside) represent, in each of their details, a different time layer, between which Agens is able to move freely. Agens has the ability to cross the different time layers as opposed to the other characters who are determined and linked to a particular age. She is also able to keep her voice moving between the different tones, heights, inarticulate rattling and shocking melodies. She is the absolute protagonist existing outside the time compared to the others."
