February 2024 /VENICE ITALY

Is there really an essence beneath the layers, or do the layers define the essence itself?
A costume, a dress, a harmony of art, a patchwork of the Feminine Soul.
Talents woven like a story that outlines a journey through the subtle threads of existence.
Here, weaving, braiding, lace, and embroidery are silent testimonies of women from the past, reassembled and reinvented to embrace different eras.Emerging from the waters, the Spider Woman reaches out to younger generations, often caught in a tide of disorienting information. In a symbolic encounter between myth and the present, the young participants and the creature recognize their shared vulnerabilities and embark together on a ritual of purification and liberation.

Engaging the audience, the performance weaves a network of colorful threads that connects people to one another and to the place itself, transforming the space into a living fabric of relationships, listening, and collective participation.

If you prefer, I can also make it sound more poetic and contemporary, in the style of an exhibition or festival catalogue.
