Context investigates the idea of a “context” understood as a fabric, or a non-random aggregate (from the Latin con-texere = weaving together, intertwining): the context is therefore thought of as a "mesh", a mobile space of interconnection in which infinite relationships bring out spaces and affinities in order to activate a research process on the relationship between primary structures and complexity through the geometric figure of the triangle, a reductive and expansive element at the same time. Seen as a prismatic object capable of making multiple forms coexist, Context is made up of different visual, performative, textual and sound formats that embody the entire research process from different points of view.
The project foresees several performative formats (trio, duo and solo) designed for theatrical spaces, galleries, museums and site-specific.

The Angular Distance of a Celestial Body is a reflection on the cartographic process - seen as the reduced representation of the earth's surface, where the body of two performers replaces the graphic sign used on the maps. On the floor, the presence of a horizontal modular structure of wires wool contrasts with the vertical tension of symmetrical bodies, without identity or gender. During the performance, the audience has the sensation of taking part into an archaic rite where the sound accompanies the actions, marks the internal rhythms of the movement, outlines a variable horizon, thus relating the numerical - cartographic - dimension of the world to an archetypal, organic, analogical landscape that describes and measures it without contemplating numbers.
