ABITARE IL RITORNO – Echi e visioni di donne uomini e oggetti

Stories are not concerned with clarity and distinction.
Stories are the territory of confusion, ambiguity,
multiplicity and disorder,
they are the territory of how things actually are.

Memory, origins, roots, paper and the question where do I come from? are at the core of the work that Fabiana Iacozzilli carried out with the workshop participants. The answers are many: I come from a name, a house, another person, a grandmother, a mother or a father, a spinning top, a photograph, a ghost, a family dinner, a giant, a song of the night. The scenic language conveying the artistic matter is puppetry: the work speaks through objects and puppets made by the performers themselves using paper, cardboard and their own answers; because you have to let the hands do the work in the search for self-expression.
