​

The Urutau is a bird whose philosophical genetics share a deep correspondence with the Manifesto Cannibale project:
It is nocturnal.
It remains still all day in unlikely poses.
It camouflages by mimicking trees.
It can see while keeping his eyes closed.
And it is even called "the ghost bird".
This performance is dedicated to the Urutau:
a hybrid between a sacrificial ritual and a stop-motion rave party

Before our eyes, bodies: alive and pulsating, timid and brave, vibrant and crooked, wide open.
They are living beings training in telepathy crossing the threshold of the stage as if matter and gaze
were changing state.
They are motionless, blind bodies competing in a contest of endurance.
Everything is still, yet a narrative is generated by subtraction, an intimate and trembling narrative.
It is a marathon without miles, an ascetic metamorphosis that dedicates its silent heroism to an apnoeicidal fanbase.
It is time to restore eternity to instants.
