Broken Intimacy

The title “intimita violata” (“broken intimacy”) well expresses this long take sequence & tape meaning. The work represents the frenzy of a schizophrenic society, passionless, merged by loneliness and in communication. The main performer takes off her mask, climbs existence and engages a purification path, coming back to her childhood, through a striking iter, in which the art of music and dance assumes a cathartic role. The girl tries, in vain, to involve them in her new journey of light, but she finds herself alone, resigned and looking for the initial position. The tale begins again in a cyclic way, in the same toilet that represents everything: public but also private place, emblem of an intimacy which is a prideful meeting point and sublime nostalgia, “self”‘s dwelling and its own ruin.
