The actor's is the artist himself. Is quite innovative because he film himself performing and record monologues that becomes dialogues due to the two screens projections, creating Video theatre.
The Madrigal of the Explosion of the Wise Whale holds the idea that art can be created from a fictional reality and try to build this reality afterwards in a second level of understanding, creates the "lamentations of a daily poetic life", modern theatrical lamentations, dealing with paradox, Madrigal is not a Modern form of song but it can be modern and as an art fort can be translated to theatre, to "Home Domestic Theatre of the Daily Life", when quotidian life is transformed to Tragedy. |

THE OYSTER EFFECT
13min / 2010
In 1959, the anthropologist Ernesto De Martino, accompanied by a team of assistants, travels to Salento, a rural area of South Italy, to document the performative phenomenon of Tarantism. Using as a starting point parts of archive footage shot by De Martino’s team during his first research in the area, “The Oyster Effect” develops into a collage of historical references as narrating voices over a visual journey. In the film, the portrayal of women and hysteria is shown as a series of parallels between built environments, architectural spaces, landscape and their narration. |
