Stefania Galegati Shines


I would like to repropose a video of the 1999, Where we are told of deep sighs and long thoughts, as a performance. An excavator and a bulldozer, two machines that we usually see on the roadside, lifting stones and digging holes, will fight. As a martial art, combat takes on a ritual, almost a dance. The power of the machines, the deafening noise of the engines and the metal shots of the battle, will transport the audience in an atmosphere of middle age love dueling, or maybe to the’Jurassic era of the dinosaurs, but reminding one of these violent beautiful anime with giant robots…
