Francesca DI BONITO
BIRTH is a work where life and death, staged funnily and self-mockery, echo each other like shadows, or alter egos.
Pictured as grotesque and strangely seductive creatures, those women guide us in the exploration of dream and fantastic images, emphasizing individual condition. Hybrid, altered, they play a tense narrative at the fringe between reality and fiction, questioning archaisms and what is at stake regarding gender.
A strange farce that mocks traditional clichés, and the inescapable passages of life when a woman turns into a mother.
