It explores ‘near-to’ experiences of transformation and failure. A series of acts unfolds gradually, blending spoken words, protective symbolic objects, and intense physical states. With deliberate yet brute gestures, gargoyle-like facial expressions and self-defense physicalities, the piece reveals an incessant becoming that shifts between silence and rage. The performer is accompanied by a set of wearable protective metallic objects that operate as both burdens and bodily extensions. It generates a sonic and vocal altar that gradually reveals an overexposed gesture of obtaining freedom and resilience in chaos. The work echoes the challenges of physicality, commenting on an urge for a collective deliberation against fear and failure. *The presentation of the Performance was supported by Onassis Stegi Touring Program* ![OnassisStegi logo 2023](https://www.operaestate.it/images/OnassisStegi_logo_2023.jpg) **Recommended artist 2026** ![Aerowaves Default Logo Black](https://www.operaestate.it/images/Aerowaves-Default_Logo_Black.jpg) ![nuovo EN Co funded by the EU PANTONE](https://www.operaestate.it/images/nuovo_EN_Co-funded_by_the_EU_PANTONE.jpg)
