It seems that human beings need to be in a state of emergency in order to act, and that they can only truly contemplate the possibility of change when it becomes inevitable. Until then, the only option is to survive as best we can, moving forward along a path whose only point of reference is the self, in a blindness (more or less conscious) to the Other around us. As individual human beings, how do we face crisis? Do we ignore it, or do we embrace it? Se domani reclaims the word ‘crisis’ in its original sense: as a choice, an opportunity to reconnect with the Other, to renew oneself, to be alive without presuming to be immortal, by staying in relation with what is outside ourselves and letting reality pass through us. On stage, two bodies trace the edges of a liminal space, a corridor in constant dialogue with itself and the world. In this glut of images, in this cult of individualism, the gaze collapses, sinking into a bodily and existential blindness. The boundary dissolves and expands – so does the sound, which in its rhythmic and relentless progression transforms into song. These two bodies, as representatives of a collectivity locked in a solitary shell of patterns and protections, encounter otherness, and thus themselves, until they touch, moving together through a shared crisis.
