This work aims to investigate the geography of the Mediterranean space through the representation of the movements and gestures it contains (crossing, meeting, clashing). As the performer weaves the thread, the space changes, becoming a labyrinth. The images acquire a performative and choreographic characteristic that creates a space perceived as a weave/grid, a place of frontier and transit at the same time. The plastic gesture of weaving underpins my approach of research and creation as a path.
The plastic gesture of weaving underpins my approach of research and creation as a pathway: it becomes a ‘’design‘’ in its double sense, a trace and a purpose that governs my making.
I thus establish a relationship between image-body-space-territory (real and visual) and with certain objects that become ‘choreographic’, inducing particular movements. The Mediterranean thus emerges as a relational and complex space.
