On the blurred boundary between organic and inorganic, between life and non-life, the fossil is a material and poetic testimony to the passing and layering of time.

I pianti e I lamenti dei pesci fossili (The cries and moans of fossil fish) attempts to build relationships between immensely distant and different bodies and times, mourning the eternal cycle of the transformation of matter, life and death, in the context of the Sixth Extinction.

The dancers' bodies explore the possibilities of relationship through two interfaces: the skin or membrane, which serves as the engine of movement by connecting the inside and outside of the body; and the air, which is crossed by their voices and transformed into a “space before any location.” The performance takes the form of a progressive layering of bodily and vocal practices and recalls the very structure of the fossil.
