I’d like to remove words from fact.
The fact is the body, absolute construction, closed in the matter, matter, questioning, evident even in absence of cognition, intention being awake.
Semblance, simulacrum.

For many years I have been looking for a logical and existential passage that my work demands. I draw a rough parallel between the human condition of being thrown – the fall in the Time – and the theatrical machine, device that re-presents, by the arm of exposure to the World, the original condition of opening, foundation of every feeling, of sense.

The project Euphoria will be developed in different sections. The first unfinished part was presented at Short Theatre Festival, in Rome, in September 2016. The whole project will be finally performed still in Rome, in India Theatre, in September 2017.
Original music. Three figures. Hypothesis: that senses give image to time.
