A BODY ON THE EDGE - MASK.
A CIRCULATION OF IMAGES.
A GAP.

GRUTA EXPLORES THE FRAGILITY OF SELF — WHERE IDENTITY TEETERS ON THE ABYSS. ROOTED IN A HYPERBOLIC, BAROQUELY VISUAL TEXT, NARRATED LIVE AS AN INVOCATION, THE PERFORMANCE INVITES THE AUDIENCE TO RESIDE IN THE ACTION.

TEXT, SOUND AND IMAGE MECHANISMS OF MOVEMENT. THE SOUND IS A LIVE PERFORMANCE OF A STUDIO COMPOSITION: BUILT FROM FIELD RECORDINGS, INSTRUMENTS AND THE TEXT ITSELF. SOUND BECOMES VOICE AND GESTURE — NOT REPRESENTATION, BUT EXPRESSION. IMAGES CREATED IN EXPANDED CINEMA, BY EDUARDO FILIPPI, INTERTWINE WITH SOUND AND BODY, FORMING A SYNTHETIC LANGUAGE THAT ENGAGES THE AUDIENCE SENSORIALLY AND PHYSICALLY. THE RESULT IS AN IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCE WHERE PRESENCE, PERCEPTION, AND RITUAL COLLAPSE INTO ONE.
