ODE ALLA BOMBA is a site-specific collective creation developed in collaboration with A.R.T.I Theatre and directed by Marco Luciano and Veronica Ragusa. My role in the project was as a performer.
The work based on a visual poem, printed like an atomic mushroom cloud, that shifts between play and terror, onomatopoeia and rhythm. It is a paradoxical love song to the bomb, where irony is the central engine.
At its core, the piece questions: What is the role of the artist? What responsibility can art assume in the face of violence and destruction?
Designed for non-traditional public spaces, the performance uses body, presence, and voice as its primary tools — our most powerful weapons for creating poetry. Actor-driven dramaturgy moves from intense physical work to staged expression, navigating the balance and imbalance of body and voice, in relation to space and to one another.
The empty space becomes a stage of rebellion and transformation, where the performative act itself is both resistance and renewal.
