The X Never Marks the Spot
Two bodies: one tries, the other seeks.
One body chaotic and another wrong, multiplying in different perspectives of a self that precisely in the multitude cancels itself out.
Or both at the same time.
This is an experimental work on what the verb to be can mean and act in the sense of who I am. A verb expresses an action: one speaks by speaking, one loves by loving, one is by being.
The performance is characterised by the combination of traits from the poetics of theatre, dance and performance with contemporary experimentation of the stage. The protagonist of the scene is being as verb, as action. There are two characters on stage and one on video who between performance, acting and video, invaded by virtual characters, tell in an ironic way, the difficulty of being free from the perception of the other and therefore also the value of human interconnection.
Sometimes the body loses its self-perception when alone, and sometimes it loses it precisely because it is only recognisable in the perception of the other. Then the body itself takes on the form of an inner conflict, in labile and deceptive balances. The audience finds itself to be voyer of an invisible intimate space of the human being in which this fluid insists on bombarding the soul, through the body of the performing actor who makes it visible.
The performance narrates in 8 pictures the multiplied body, in bodies that write and describe because the X never marks the point.
The X is a symbol, the representation of a light at the end of the tunnel: something that would end…” our search; the encounter with ourselves, through the reflection in another person. The X is a Pit-Stop.
