IL SISTEMA DEGLI AFFETTI
The System of affects is a family portrait, a dedication to elusive creatures perpetually on the threshold of physical or geographical change. It is a flawed photograph which, with silver nitrate or contrast fluid, disregards the object and blurs between things, transforming them, revealing the trails of movement and the veins of the body of Lavanderia a Vapore.

Research in the coming months will focus on the jurisdiction of feeling, of the body as a terrain for understanding and interpreting the world, and the inextricable and inescapable interdependence of things.
Il Sistema degli affetti – The System of affects rests on two words that act as a centre of gravity, both of which can be used as nouns and verbs.
Affect understood as a noun: a state that, between emotion and psychology, transforms sensations into emotions, emotions into relationships. Affect as an extension of the past participle “affected”, the state of something affected by other forces. The system understood as a set of autonomous elements that find balance and new functions in the weaving of relationships, meanings and senses. ‘System’ as an imperative verb: resolve and heal. Affects, being affectionate, an inexact system, system as an imperative for repair.
Our dramaturgical investigation thus becomes a reflection, spoken aloud and with an open heart, on what and how we have become, avoiding autobiographical solipsism in order to offer, instead, a plastic model for irreverent experiments in inconvenient politics.
Is it possible to fix a world riddled with supremacist tensions with a policy that stems from feelings? What happens if affection transcends personal data and becomes a political paradigm and a system that encompasses a world free of boundaries?
How can we fix the future by reclaiming the presence in the body and bodies?
When do affection and attachment become choreographies of a choral politics against self-sufficiency?
