Body that desires
2023
Performance
“In the performance ‘Body that desires’, plurale performs a healing ritual to transform a ferocious wolf into a free person. Three sexual acts – ‘The wolf loses the fur, but not the vice’*, ‘I am conscious of my freedom’, and ‘Threesome’ – represent the man’s therapeutic journey through stages of sexual self-exploration. Conceived as a critical examination of male aggression, this piece interweaves the urgency of neutralizing gender violence with a collective, amplified, and interactive reaction, extending the issue beyond the private realm into a collective treatment. Music, as a transformative element, guides the entire ritual, ultimately completing the healing journey with the energetic beats of club music.”
* Italian way of saying that means “it is very difficult to eliminate bad habits permanently”
