Spiritus

I’m stuck and I’m shut. The powerful news comes in to rupture the order of things. This storm twists its way through the defences raised in the name of rationality. There is danger in the air. It’s like awakening something that was waiting to come out. Strong to the point of settling into a niche in my subconscious, ready to take up space. I start to endow visible form on the imagination of fear and anguish, feelings we carry as a sort of collective memory.
The project is a search for a synthesis between collective history and personal memories. In the double role of director and actor, I staged myself and the objects that filled my days in an attempt to sublimate the scary feelings, whether those of today or of all time; because, following in the wake of the tragic theatre tradition, only through representation can catharsis take place.
