Manifesto Cannibale - Esercizi di pornografia vegetale

Manifesto Cannibale is a strange organism. It starts from a reflection on the world of plants which calls on us to reconsider the place of the human kind, the fabric of time, the forms of perception and the nature of thought. Its creation was abandoned by the author, Francesca Pennini, who kept herself in a condition of “blindness“ and distance from the creation, communicating with the performers only through poetic clues: a ghost author who signs something she does not know nor see, who lives on the edge of the scene and who is only allowed to see what is absolutely still. On stage, Franz Schubert's 'Winterreise' cycle accompanies a perceptive rite of transformation towards conditions that cannot be experienced by human bodies, between microscopic dances, dangerous games and choreographic hieroglyphs. An invitation to a tactile gaze, to the immersion in high volume silences.
