How far can get the possession of a body?
How much can thin the prudish wrapping that covers it?
Is it possible to delete urges and instincts through their locations in the body map?
(T) E.S.T.E. is a collection of questions that keep their interrogative.
(T) E.S.T.E. is a story without narration, a structure of concepts extrapolated from real facts.
The work starts from the assumption that a real historical event is an exact structure because it is organized according to the general principles that govern what happens.
Therefore a series of facts becomes a grid of patterns and connections that can be interpreted just as relations between x and y elements generating an abstract script.
This actions network is the story of the lovers Ugo and Parisina in the XV century. They were son and wife of Niccolò III d'Este, Marquis of Ferrara, and both of them has been decapitated because of their sins of passion.
The performance is a temporally modified organism that chronologically interfaces to both XV and XXI century.
In this historical schizophrenia the performers become hybrid creatures that doesn't belong to any time, with no role other than being bodies.
What is left are acephalous bodies, moving through an atlas of movements in which the sequence of events is completely dissolved and the themes are cristallized in the rules that generate the action.
