“T.R.I.P.O.F.O.B.I.A.”
The fear of holes, or rather, of all those small geometric figures that close together create clusters of small cavities. A game of images based on juxtapositions that are repeated three-dimensionally and that causes a sense of disgust and repellence; the alarm is triggered thanks to an intrinsic code, developed over the centuries by our ancestors, which safeguards the phobic from the danger of being infected by parasitic forms or being injured by poisonous animals. Anxiety, anguish, fear, hundreds of names for a single existential dimension: the fear of losing control over the world, over our body, over the other. The means by which a trypophobic skeleton is formed is geometry, which, however, only thanks to the imaginative contribution of the human mind, becomes an active gateway for fear; reflecting man’s insecurities and paranoia. Bottomless, where all awareness falls steeply. Facing a fear is not an easy game. The risks are indeed real, but the outcome far worth it. It seems that playing the game rather implies accepting not to play at all. With T.R.I.P.O.F.O.B.I.A. we choose to accept the challenge, transforming ourselves into the parasites that creep into its galleries. The clarity is lost and the eyes close.

“INESORABILMENTEUNAVIA”
The form turns itself in pure energy , there is no beginning and there is no end. A journey that capture the eye, in search of continuous associations and symbols that alternate, repeat and move within a closed and hypnotic cycle. An inexorable loop, made up of changes of speed and spatial designs, brings to the scene different perspectives that interact with each other searching an inner energy that leads to harmony. The choreography proposes a path, placing itself as a decisive negation of the explosive and muscular expression of energy, often labile and passing, which does not represent true strength but only imbalance. In the performance, the loop of the movement becomes almost liturgical, tending towards the achievement of a spirituality that draws its inspiration from the idea of life force typical of the oriental philosophies. INESORABLMENTEUNAVIA is a sort of exhortation to search for new balances. The musical intervention has been realized with an aerophone, percussion, concrete sounds and the use of a granular synthesizer. These elements create a series of overlapping musical characters, a breath, a line that breaks down into polyphony and percussive elements on different rhythmical planes.
INESORABILMENTEUNAVIA, inspired by the Bizhan Bassiri’s video installation “Il Bisonte”, is the representation of the undisciplined inexorable path of nature that regenerates itself without ever ceasing its course. Everything seems to stop in front of the appearance of the artwork: an apparition of a cosmic dimension that conquers the space creating a powerful energy charge.

“CUMA”
“A solo conceived around the prophetic figure of the Cumaean Sibyl, the priestess of Apollo. Interpreted by Federica D’Aversa, Cuma is enveloped in a dark atmosphere, and initially, the sense of mystery remains profound and dominant. Fully naked, this female figure that appears in the darkness seems to want to bring to life a final divinatory message. Her angular, triangular movements are dictatorial. However, her song does not seem entirely free: Cuma seems to be possessed by an external force. ‘Her prophecies,’ writes Colturi, ‘are accompanied by possession, the madness of the god. Such is the elevated divine message that the body of the Sibyl, after this vision, is torn apart by the prophecy itself.'”
