Who is at the helm of necessity?
Aeschylus, Prometheus Bound

This final scene features adult and adolescent performers who have gone through the previous stages of the project. Together, they reaffirm Prometheus’s delivery of a process, of an action that does not exhaust its practice, as it is aimed at shocking and disturbing the natural order.

Their dance is a territory in which epiphanies, sudden revelations, the web of desires, surprises, and the impossibility of stopping can explode. 

Newly acquired knowledge is layered to prepare for the next dizzying moment. There is growth, ferment, but also fragility and imbalance, as if faced with the unpredictable.

The growing body launches itself and overlaps with the mature one. 

The adult observes the adolescent, introjecting electric pulsations and peremptory exercises. 

These are figures that do not reveal an origin but bring together provenances and imaginaries, territories, temperatures, climatic coordinates. They experience extension and intensity. 

It is a flame that does not go out and, where practice and obstinacy ensure that the code can be metabolized, the movement continues to appear fragile, tending towards the incompleteness of a final form which, if ever achieved, could not accommodate the multiplicity of transfigurations, crossings, and visions.

And it burns, burns, burns
And it burns, burns, burns
And it burns, burns, burns
