No body

The performance comes directly from the paintings that Ilaria Bochicchio realizes. Her desire is to go beyond the canvas and feel the body becoming alive. The skin welcomes the cast as the canvas absorbs the color. The body shaped under her hands becomes a living sculpture. Breathing is the primary emotion that transmits this action and allows you to perceive the living canvas. Improvisation is a key factor of the performance, necessary for the emotions to come through.
