“Wokeliscelenviorbrece” is the opening phrase of the key monologue of the experimental performance that arises from the encounter with the performer/actor Massimiliano Balduzzi and the director Jean Sadao. Through a series of performative, installation and musical interventions, conceived by the director, the spectator is gradually introduced to the main performance.

The performance is an attempt to combine 2 works: “Lunatico”, which is a monologue conceived by Massimiliano Balduzzi on a text in an invented language that transforms and is consumed on stage through a constant vocal emission that, initially, is almost imperceptible and then intensifies through the search for the numerous voices that live unheard in our body; and “The multi-sensory Impossibility of a Worm”, a video work by Jean Sadao where through a composition of many images on a single screen, the author seems to ask himself questions about communication, unexplored senses and their possible implications: what could happen and how would the individual and society evolve or not if we communicated differently or used other types of senses to those already codified and used?

The two works are different from each other but have a single common thread: trying to create an experience with different types of communication and language through words, gestures, bodies and therefore senses. Performing art that simultaneously includes various types of dialogue: the individual one, between body and interiority, between sense and nonsense that addresses a comparison with visitors, observers and privileged interlocutors; the dialogue between two artists and their different means of expression, between the immediacy and the reverberation of images, between bodies and space, between staticity and movement in an immersive communicative experience.
