Description
Automatically translated from Italian.
A sister and a brother meet in an indoor space, suspended in a dialogue that never happened. At the heart of "Other Latitudes" is breath: exactly eight minutes and forty-six seconds, the time it takes for life to leave a body. The performance arises from the interplay between literature, anthropology, and contemporary reporting, exploring how human vulnerability can fall victim to a system that acts for self-preservation. The show rejects any form of spectacle of pain, instead seeking the most profoundly human dimension. The stage space emerges only from projected photographs, while music and sounds accompany every moment. A reflection on the meaning of justice when empathy and trust disappear.
Original text in Italian
Una sorella e un fratello si incontrano in uno spazio interno, sospesi in un dialogo che non è mai accaduto. Al centro di "Altre Latitudini" c'è il respiro: esattamente otto minuti e quarantasei secondi, il tempo in cui la vita abbandona un corpo. Lo spettacolo nasce dall'intreccio tra letteratura, antropologia e cronaca contemporanea, esplorando come la vulnerabilità umana possa divenire vittima di un sistema che agisce per autopreservazione. La performance rifiuta ogni forma di spettacolarizzazione del dolore, cercando invece la dimensione più profondamente umana. Lo spazio scenico emerge solo dalle fotografie proiettate, mentre le musiche e i suoni accompagnano ogni momento. Una riflessione sul significato della giustizia quando empatia e fiducia scompaiono.
