Empusa Poem

The structure of a Haiku poem forms the exoskeleton of this production, establishing a parallelism between the inability to explain certain aspects of insect ethology and human behavior.

Insects are once again the epicenter of this work, evoking exotic creatures that support architectures that could well remind us of origami structures, articulated in an eternal folding-folding of wings, even insinuating Geishas from a dreamlike imaginary.

Incomprehensible creatures, scenes and scenarios flood this work, until “exhausting the realm of what is possible in a mortal life”, as Pindar points out in Albert Camus’ “The Myth of Sisyphus”.

“Empusa Poem” is an evolution of the previous work, “Insecto Primitivo”, creating a harmony of multilanguages between dance, physical theater and sport, and delving into a new and disturbing imaginary of entomological mythology.
