Cuspidiperformance
Biennale di Venezia
2023



A multi-sensory performance, transporting the spectator into a Plato’s cave 2.0, Cuspidi intersects video, gesture, word, and sound to take a disturbing snapshot of the contemporary and promote a return to the human, a search for emotions in the world of algorithms. The visual content designed for the set entirely made up of projections follows the emotional flow of the script by proposing an abstract and perceptive setting. The aim was to create a strong link between the body of the actresses and the actors and the projections, treating the visual material as characters and not two-sided panels. Technology in this case was not just a technical tool but an integral part of the performance.
