Tutto sarà com’è ora, solo un po’ diverso

The Garden is an immobile dance. A living freeze-frame. The overexposed vision of an absolute icon in the darkroom of the theatre. A female body lays prone on the floor, motionless, immersed in a flow of sound imaginaries capable of reinventing each time her figure. Abandoned, falling, dreaming, dying body. Vibrating under the faint lights of a stage with no show to give. Body that twirls its own resistance to time in a stasis which is not alternative to movement, but coexisting with it. Immanent eternity. Paradoxical paradise of which the final demiurge turns out to be the spectator that, with its imaginal capability, becomes by and by the acting subject of the piece.
