Emma B. is Not Dead is a performance that arises from a long-term research into the archive of the feminist collective Le Nemesiache, who were active in Naples (Italy) in the 1970s –1980s. 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 ‘psycho-fable’, 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.
