La Vaga Grazia

Bologna, Italy

“La Vaga Grazia” is inspired by René Daumal’s “Mount Analogue”, which is said to be the only novel in the world to end with a comma. The story narrates a journey and is interrupted just as the mountaineers catch a glimpse of the first base camp, having just embarked on the actual spiritual journey. We do not know how their quest ends and for each of them it will be a unique, irreducible, entirely intimate movement. The poet decides to take a leap towards the search for the self and the infinitesimal, an attempt to change something radically, the desire to take a geographical route inwards. Eva Geatti began working on this project in April 2021 with five young actors: on stage, a live concert of synthesisers played by Dario Moroldo guides them on an exploration that takes place in the world but which actually makes us sink into ourselves, a totalising, calm and passionate quest; an initiatory and complicated journey towards the authenticity of being. “La Vaga Grazia” seeks an answer to a question that we do not know how to formulate, yet we perceive as essential and concrete; a place we need to encounter but which makes us small and bewildered.
