TEMPO RÓI

Performance , 40'| Installation: wood, iron, wax, body , 2015 |Dimensions: 90x90x 300 cm

A work about time, which seems not to pass, and quickly flees.
The story of a woman imprisoned in limbo, a time without time, between tradition and modernity, echoes of a life already lived, or still living.
Me and a big wax doll that slowly melts.

“Crusts of wax fall over the woman's skull, again and again, aging her, covering her hair like snow in the fields. She dances the dance of repetition, faster and faster, animated. And all humanity passes on, between it and us: old age, youth, birth and death...”
Sharon Tofanelli and Andrea Bernardo,“Teatro.persinsala.it”


A research on the feminine that puts in dialogue the sacred world of Santas de Roca  with the profane world of traditional tales.
