Stellan Veloce - Clara Murtas
video: Silvia Maggi
performer in the video: T word
A multimedia performance developed with my mother, the singer Clara Murtas. Together we rediscover the, apparently disappeared, ritual of the Argia. The Argia is the name of a poisonous spider and the symbol of a female wandering soul that bites and possess men.
The possessed/poisoned man then has the opportunity to realize his own fictional feminine drama though songs and dances, witnessed and supported by the whole village.
