The subject is the phenomenon and what pertains to it, the question that agitates it, the very issue of appearance, of appearance and its imprint, of perceptual impact and the specifically human doubt of an under, and beyond: tell me where you are.
An exercise in concrete ontological and linguistic crisis, it focuses on the spatial relationships of stage dynamics, articulating performative temporality within the context of research into the perceptual conditions capable of manifesting presence and becoming. It problematises the future dimension of the stage. What is happening? Where does the what dwell?

Silvia Rampelli focuses her reflection on the nature of the act, on the centrality of the perceptual dimension in stage practice and in transformative experiential processes. In 2002, she founded Habillé d’eau, an independent performance research project that draws on a stable core of participants and intense dialogue with figures who have been involved in its development over time, currently: Alessandra Cristiani, Eleonora Chiocchini, Valerio Sirna, Stefania Tansini, and Gianni Staropoli alla luce. Habillé d’eau has been produced, among others, by La Biennale di Venezia – Festival Internazionale del Teatro and invited to major festivals.
Active in the theoretical and educational fields, she offers study seminars and public lectures, teaches at universities and higher education institutions, and develops projects in fragile contexts. She has received numerous critical acclaim and awards, including the 2018 Ubu Prize for best dance performance.
