Starting from the author’s autobiographical experience, the performance manifests itself as a totally open process, a danced discourse that investigates the memories and traces left on the body by the culture of control, violence and abuse. The project is intended as a series of “protest” actions, which arise from solitary and meditative practices. Mantric practices developed in the last months of social distancing, which arose to train the skin to release what it perceives to be withheld, pronounce wounds and expose the authentic “living body”, to offer one’s vulnerability as a condition through which to revolt. To replace rigid postures of defence and control with new postures that are fluid, permeable and transparent. The body becomes a symbol of a territory in which to direct the thought of care, and in these danced protests gives rise to a new instantaneous alphabet, a succession of gestures and actions as liberated forces.
