Strangers meet at a bus or train stop. Maybe at the vaporetto stop in Venice or Frankfurt airport. For everyone, it is a transit point, a place without existing ties, with which no one connects.

However, in the vacuum created by time, strangers come closer, a sincerity prevails between them, which is possible only between strangers, between interlocutors who will never meet again.

These are circumstances and a place where you can share your greatest joy, fears or shame.

You can be heard without fear of being judged or rejected. You can be silent, sing, be yourself, be anything, lie, pretend, make things up. No consequences.

Limbo is the place between Heaven and Hell. It includes unbaptized babies; the righteous who died before Christ; souls undeserving of punishment but unable to attain salvation.

Limbo - state after divorce; after the death of a loved one; after emigration; after the war; after being fired.

Limbo is a place without suffering, but also without hope. Dante Alighieri placed Homer, Horace, Ovid, Socrates, Plato and Virgil there in the first part of The Divine Comedy.

Limbo is a West Indian dance in which the dancers have to pass under an ever-lowering bar.

Limbo is a video game developed by Danish studio Playdead.

Limbo - this is a British anti-submarine bomb launcher...
