Three female bodies move within a suspended black space. There is no linear narrative, but a succession of apparitions and fragments. Presences emerge and disappear like visions.
They reveal themselves in layers and details, within a symbolic field where the female body is at once flesh, desire, and judgment.
The performance explores femininity through the body and its representation. A body observed, fragmented, and judged. A forest of signs and symbols, a stage writing made of pauses and revelations, leaving space for the invisible.
The performers undergo continuous transformations. They expose themselves, multiply, and disarticulate. Every gesture is a sign, every action opens up possible meanings.
“EPIPHANĪA – I Reveal Myself” is an act of embodiment and disembodiment, a vision that invites us to look at the body beyond matter.
The performance is presented in collaboration with Centro Servizi Culturali Santa Chiara, Trento.
IN SHORT
The bodies of three dancers appear and disappear within a black space, like visions. They unfold in fragments, layers, and transformations. The performance explores the female body as apparition and representation, between flesh, desire, and judgment.
