Totemica was born in the period of the pandemic as a reflection on the contemporary human condition and its perpetual sense of omnipotence.

I am inhabited by doubt as never before, the pandemic has moved and broken many of my certainties. My daily ritual is disintegrated, searching for a base to stand on. I often find myself navigating in a kind of sidereal space, in which I know I cannot place any certainty (Manfredi Perego)

Like a fallen deity who no longer knows who he is, who no longer recognises himself in any place or creed. The choreography exhibits a god unrecognisable in the present, concrete in history, living energy but expired in an unidentified limbo. Powerful mute drum resounds at times. The performer falls into the most enigmatic silence of a new, endless search for himself.

Totemica wants to be the physical and emotional testimony of this situation, in which one inhabits a dispersed sacredness devoid of footholds.
