TOTEMICA, LITURGIA DELLA DISPERSIONE. The show was born in the period of the pandemic as a reflection on the contemporary human condition and its perpetual sense of omnipotence. The choreography shows an unrecognizable god in the present, concrete in history, living energy but expired in an unidentified limbo. Powerful mute drum that resonates at times. The performer falls into the most enigmatic silence of a new search for himself, without end. Like a fallen divinity who no longer knows who he is, who no longer recognizes himself in any place or creed. Totemica wants to be the physical and emotional testimony of this situation, in which a dispersed sacredness without footholds is inhabited.
