"Why is slowness always more poetic?"
The clash between the syncopated frenzy of contemporary Western society and the internal metabolic dilation often generates a
deep restlessness in the bodies. "Silence?" it is a performative work that investigates the qualitative dimension (emotional, perceptive,
tactile..) of speed and slowness, within the
relationship between two bodies. Starting from this relationship that generates sounds and landscapes, the scene is woven with specific tensions: fragility, violence, rigor and confusion are the characteristics of a space that takes root in everyday life, to be placed elsewhere. Speed ​​and slowness are defined in emotional terms of great impact, conveyed by a dense and tense silence, by sharp and pounding sounds generated by the movements of the performer. The sound resulting from the relationship between the two bodies on stage, and amplified by radio microphones positioned in the performer's body, are the materialization of possible landscapes of slowness and speed.
