I’M SO EXCITED! takes over as an intimate object, hard and raw.

All this is about the end of a relationship, the destruction of two bodies that love each other or had appreciated the idea of loving each other, entered in a birthday party scenario, of one of them, which is also a theater rehearsal. In a constant game of perversion and provocation, still body and body 2 (as mirror figures of Hippolytus and Phaedra) allow it to be part of a game not totally decipherable, to come to a settling accounts. That “fight” walks towards a revenge place, where one of the bodies will have to forget and (auto) destruct totally, in a way to achieve a certain purification and forgiveness. That purification is the required state: the search of an almost dependent and total love – that total give is an impossible condition when it comes to humans, and individual machines.

I mean, by this performance, to begin a duet cycle, in which I will work every year, in a atmosphere of intimacy, with an interpreter by specific orientations, in which the only condition is that the cast has to be only me and other person.
