The piece focuses on the journey of the body into the world beginning with the conceiving. How the body is slowly introduced to what will always be a presence perceived at different levels of consciousness throughout the overall experience of life.
The relationship between the inside and the outside investigated from the deepest level of intimacy up to the formal relationship that funds the ‘solid’ basis of the world’s structure: the moral, the language, the image. Ex Matrice Corpora wants to take the audience into the dualism of the relationship between the inside and the outside of ourselves, of us, of the community, of the society, of the world.
