It pushes forward the fascinating trajectories found in their practice: a ritualistic approach to the environment and to natural elements (such as the volcano Vesuvius); an exploration of magic as storytelling and as a valuable mode of knowing; and their theatrical method of the \u2018psycho-fable\u2019, that is the embodiment of ancient female figures to think of the past differently and to fabulate together about alternative futures. It is a 4-acts performance in which the prophetess Emma B. has been abandoned. She has lost contact with the legends of gods and the history of paternal figures that were providing her all the answers. Within this absence, Emma B. and the other characters of the play are looking for a message to give in disorienting times. They have fallen into a dark hole: a circuit of underground tunnels that leads to a temple, an abandoned theatre, a war arena, and which in the end resurfaces into a bubbling crater. At what point in the circuit of communication is her message getting lost? How can Emma B. and the visitors to her temple prepare to do without it? There are three performers on stage, scenario, sound and light design.","space":"The piece requires an exhibition space where it is possible to establish the relation stage-audience. If the performance is to happen in S\u00e3o Paulo, an ideal place is Centro Cultural S\u00e3o Paulo. It would be best to have access to sound and lightening equipment. We need to control the light so we can use projections.","artists_proposal":null,"members":[{"names":"Giulia","surname":"Damiani","email":"giul.damiani@gmail.com","dni_type":"PASAPORTE","dni":"YB4596120","address":"Flat 8 Bryan House Rotherhithe Street, London SE165HB","city":"London","nacionality":"Italian","country_id":"113","birthdate":"1990-12-11T02:00:00.000Z","birthdate_2":"1990-12-11T02:00:00.000Z","telephone":"+447895391066","web":"https:\/\/www.giuliadamiani.eu\/"}],"lang":"en","status":"ok","video_link_password":null,"video_link":"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/300899176","audio_link_password":null,"audio_link":null,"images_link_password":null,"images_link":null,"cellphone":null,"description":null,"estimated_budget":null,"complementary_info":null,"names":"J\u00e9ssica","surname":"Varrichio","email":"varrichio.jessica@gmail.com","dni_type":"PASAPORTE","dni":"F0513471","address":"Avenida S\u00e3o Luis 192 apto 1117","city":"S\u00e3o Paulo","nacionality":"Brazilian","country_id":"34","birthdate":"1992-04-14T03:00:00.000Z","birthdate_2":"1992-04-14T03:00:00.000Z","telephone":"+55 11 984271681","web":"@jvarrichio"}
