The work explores the body’s attempt to purge organic and emotional toxicity through a music-induced trance. The repeated gestures leads the individual presence to leave the body to reastablish new ways of inhabiting it. It refers to Tarantism, a dance-based exorcism performed to heal the psychotic symptoms supposedly caused by a tarantula’s bite. The work intertwines the psychic and physical aspects of illness, showing healing as a multidimensional, unpredictable process.
