The object is the phenomenon and what is inherent in it, the question that troubles it, the very issue of appearance, of appearance and its trace, of the perceptual impact and the distinctively human doubt of a below, of a beyond: tell me where you are.
An exercise in concrete ontological and linguistic crisis that focuses on the spatial relations of theatrical dynamics, articulating the performative temporality within the framework of an investigation of the perceptual conditions capable of manifesting presence and becoming. It challenges the eventual dimension of the stage. What happens? Where does the what reside?
On the issue of where
On the call of appearance
On the question I cannot answer
