Ophelia

A strong figure and performance, in which body and word give voice to fragility and desire, in a poetic and introspective journey. At the Teatro Camploy, Ophelia will be on stage for two evenings.

Ophelia is an attempt to bring forth a voice thought to be lost: that of Ophelia, reduced to silence and dragged down by the words of others. Drawing from the fragments of Shakespeare's Hamlet and the visual universe of Francesca Woodman, she returns – vulnerable and stubborn – to a derelict space, to give form to what has not been heard. Not a discourse, but echoes, fragments, gestures that become dance. In the silence, something slowly mends, like an invisible tear. A figure moving between the end and the beginning, between oblivion and rebirth.

Ophelia does not seek to explain or denounce: it is an invitation to inhabit and to let oneself be permeated by what remains on the margins. Ophelia is no longer a character, but a presence that passes through us, looks at us, and questions us.

Giving shape to this vision: a proposal by curator Laura Lamonea and the meeting with dancer Giulia Quacqueri.
