vEST-AND-PAgE: perform concept
1. A performance is life in itself. It is
primarily real.
2. A visual but immaterial deliver
as a performing action is “always
a metaphor- a form of economic
expression”.
3 body and soul – as well as their
movement – give evidence to reality.
They are a laboratory of memory and
representation.
4. We perform to investigate territories
where ethics and aesthetics may find
their common ground, facing the
eternal themes of life, death, identity,
way, ourselves, the others and the
surrounding space.
5. We look for a poetic action to
interact with the limits of human
abilities, testing those limits with an
always-prolonged effort. violence
and restrain fade into the ineffable.
Patience. gentleness. Awareness.
Consciousness. Decision.
6. To prolong the duration of a poetic
action is to create a flux of lasting
energy throughout actual, physical
images offered by bodies and space
within a certain period of time.
7. becoming is a practice aimed to
search for new codes of expression
and relationship. Here reality and
possible truths interfere together.
Pure feelings. Source of spirit. love.
8. Mental images, dreams, visions,
ideas, thoughts transform from
immaterial delivers to sensual
impressions throughout clear physical
actions. More than the eye, the heart
is the foremost sensor that leads us
as human beings to a widened, more
open understanding of what we live
for and where.
