"Here, the body has become antenna and threshold, an open question rather than an answer: a organism that distances itself from any form of traditional human representation, declining a process of deconstruction and reinvention starting from its own limits and vulnerability.
In the vibrant space of the Almagia space, the gesture has dilated and thinned, turned into landscape, into fold, into temporal crack. [...] This investigation has unfolded within a habitat that is not only physical but a relational and temporal space, a place where the body has become a territory to be traversed without possession, a space of encounter between visible and invisible forces.
In ULTRAUMANO, the gesture merged with the environmental texture, generating a mutant and organic landscape, almost an organism in itself. Here, the distinction between inside and outside dissolved, allowing a fragile and dynamic cohabitation to emerge, in which the boundary between human and other-than-human became uncertain, labile.
The body, rather than inhabiting a space, allowed itself to be inhabited by it, in a continuous exchange of signifiers and meanings, referring to a fluid topology of the self, which recalls the practice of contemporary dance as an experience of crossing, metamorphosis and welcoming alterity."
