“Il dio dalle corna di toro. Frammenti esastici” is a dramaturgical project that develops
within a reflection on the concept of “Dionysian.” Dionysus, a disconcerting god, ferocious and
magnanimous, inspires fear and devotion. A protean and multifaceted deity: the god who
destroys every boundary, annihilates, transforms, and empowers human interiority. He is intoxication,
contradiction, and otherness.
Man, estranged from himself—uprooted—takes leave and detaches himself from all earthly futility.
Every shame, every role, every memory, every soil or homeland, every shore, every face slips
insubstantial, emptied, freeing the individual from the burdensome singularity of the self. A man
uprooted fearlessly grazes the immense pain inherent in his own unfounded condition;
A numb man awakens, contemplating the insubstantiality that grips ephemeral
existence.
An inner impulse leads him to a mystical trance, to an ecstatic
self-alienation; the pagan scent reveals itself, shines divine, shatters and nullifies every previous
certainty, every supposed meaning.
This study also becomes a syncretic act that, through a subtle introspective interweaving of
voice, percussion, and movement, welcomes and reinterprets ancestral sub-Saharan rituals
(Burkina Faso, Ivory Coast), condensing and liberating the joyful human affliction in a frenetic crescendo of
percussion and dance, reaching the pinnacle of cognitive
experience. A man, therefore, transfigured, transformed, akin to primeval nature. A
freed, luminous being shatters every anguish, forgets every circumscribed identity;
A renewed feeling emerges, reaching toward an absolute unknown.
The body listens—an exhausted coagulation of dormant passions—observes, interprets: a
craving, delirious body tears away the surface, immerses itself, shatters the banks of its own
pain in cathartic gestures. It overflows and recognizes itself, traversed by the unstable becoming.
A dramatic journey that aims to probe and enhance human interiority (thymos)
in its silent and incommunicable liberation, free from flimsy pretexts
of representation.
A dense, violent, painful ardor, gradually diluted, vanishes in the shocking
clarity of contemplation, imbued with the debris of necessary awareness.
Man, restored to his senses, renewed, and content, yields to absence, to the absurd, brushing against the ineffable
reverberation of vain uniqueness that slowly fades into the fertile, unknown multiplicity of
everything.
