Notes on the gestation of “The Gestures.”
“As in every work, I have the desire to make a production that only makes full sense in the theater.
The focus on gestures is also the focus on what cannot be written. In what theater has that is extra-literary. In what acquires meaning in the incarnation, in the presence. In the things that the body does as a result of coming into relationship.
Deleuze says that “painting the mouth that screams means not only that I paint it but that I have captured the powers that make it scream.” What would it be like to propose a dramaturgy in which the focus is on the impact of these powers. Not in the act but in the effect of the act
in the bodies. Not in the individual but in the web of relationships that affect him.
Two months in Rome have brought into focus the issues that will constitute the fable and the procedures that will be the guide. In that infinite city, I wrote, among many other things, these notes that I copy here:
The gesture of building on top. The gesture of covering up the past. I saw the excavations. The superimposed city. I was thinking about ideas. In hegemonies, built on other ideas. What was acceptable to think or say, under the weight of what is acceptable today. Returning to Pasolini is like seeing the city that once existed. The remains that still challenge with their solidity this new landscape from where we look at it.
In the work there will have to be a wild body, not yet captured by the gestures of good conscience. The gesture of impulse. That of hunger or desire. A body that has been hidden, locked in a cave, a packaging. An incomprehensible body. Unattainable.
Unfolding the fold.
Each group with its gestures.
Each group unknowingly repeating the gestures of the others.
“Everyone in each group is looking for their own voice that does not exist because everything is an echo of something that someone already said.”
