Glossa

“So much landscape. One could spend their whole life wandering about here and never find themselves, especially if they were born lost.”
José Saramago_ Raised from the Ground

I’m Italian, I lived in Portugal for a couple of years, and I have travelled a lot. After this experience, I think that now I know what saudade is. GLOSSA is a journey into my own saudade, a path between reality and imagination, an exploration of both physical and emotional geography, a search for orientation in the Portuguese territory and language. GLOSSA is an encounter with the audience in the form of a performance lecture where gestures, words, images from my own personal archive help me coming back over and over again to Portugal and other places. I turn fluid the different dimensions of my own saudade, I dive into my own private constellation of words, in search of orientation.
