In the hypothesis of pre-disposition of a creative body, it is necessary to “make oneself empty”, clear the field of thoughts, memories, pressures. From a perspective of performative creation (mixture of body, art and sound) the performer’s body becomes a place of myth, a place where to unravel the narration of an existence that is not only present but past and future at the same time. The space becomes that of Sophocles’ Oedipus; the narration that of his family; from here, it becomes possible and, therefore, an opportunity, to grasp the presence of a polysemic and polyphonic body, finally, multiform, starting from a genealogy of bodies conceived by Artaud. Dissociating oneself from one’s body, that is, making oneself empty, will become a metaphor for being totally oneself, within a personal rhythmic incidence and in a mysticism of colors that is the primordial gesture of creation. (Andrea Cramarossa)
