“E la bella stanza è vuota” draws on the inspirations that emerged from listening to Cindy Lee’s album Diamond Jubilee — a constellation of suggestions that guides the making of the work, as well as the energy and spirit of being on stage. The album as the first element of a dramaturgy that seeks to reflect on the elusive, imperceptible relationship with the other, attempting to enter into dialogue — perhaps in vain — with the memorial impulse at the heart of photographic practice: Nan Goldin, for instance, photographs in an impossible effort to hold on to her sister Barbara. The photograph, a cast of reality, impresses the moment, restores those who are gone; and yet, the mystery persists. What remains is only the testimony of this gathering of solitudes. The mystery of relation, and a photo session with four performers: a work that attempts to construct a cross-section of a multiple, varied humanity that literally passes before us — almost a raw, living, acid-soaked synthesis of a series of narratives manifesting through the relationship between bodies and identities and their metamorphoses. Being looked at, and looking, becoming dance. A movement that will ultimately leave only the afterglow of the memory of those who have passed through this now empty room.
