Agatha, sister of the Precog from Minority Report (Steven Spielberg, 2002), emerges from a tonal magma that reveals her fluid identity and precognitive capacity. A warrior and visionary, like a Joan of Arc adapted to contemporary times, Agatha proudly displays the signs of a metallic, metropolitan soul, becoming an androgynous mirror of a punk sentiment. Rebellious against the mechanical rules that constrain society, sacrificing the most instinctive part of the individual to the detriment of a supposed order, she has faith only in a minority relationship that contains a denied truth. Like the heroine of an ancient tragedy, she gazes into the evils of everyday life, revealing a firm, self-determining mindset. A self-generated energy overwhelms and transforms her, making her a muse and a silent cry for the present. Enveloped in the uneasiness that comes from questions, Agatha floats in the universal that contains them, penetrating a secret that she herself knows does not exist, except in the mind of man.
