WHO PUT WORDS IN MY MOUTH?
When we were little, my sister believed that the swan was the male of the duck, and I thought the pear was an apple with a handle. Some things I was told weren’t true, but others I still don’t know. If you plant a tree upside down, do the branches become roots, and the roots become branches? When do we start sorting through what we were told as children and decide what to keep?
On the ground, at the back left, a circle. It is made up of various objects, including a synthesizer, a keyboard, a mixer, a computer, a motherboard, a microphone, many cables, a Launchpad, a ceramic cup, a teaspoon. On the right, as a counterweight to the circle, a small chair, three sets of ceramic cups, a mic stand and its microphone.
settembre non arriverà mai questions the development of narrative thought during growth, an indispensable resource for building personal vocabularies and keys to reading the world. In particular, it explores how the transmission of stories within the family nucleus, and the manipulation of truth within this context, influence the perception of reality, psychosocial skills, and the capacity, on the part of those who absorb them, to generate stories of their own in turn.
Who put the words in my mouth? The space, inhabited by two bodies, gradually transforms and blends through word, sound, dance and action; the two performers take the breaths of their old stories and spin them to make new versions of song. The encounter between different codes makes perceptible that galaxy made of fragments and overlapping times which are the places from which stories are born, occasionally bringing forth the singular voices of those who left parts of themselves there.
