"Pietas" is the second part of an artistic project that began in 2019 with the show "Act of Mercy". It was born from a question "what would happen if humanity lost the feeling of pity?’

Pietas is structured as a fragmented parable; the engine of its action is the mysterious cry of a child whose origin the dancers instinctively and unfruitfully seek. 

Their search leads them through 3 painful stations that represent fractured moments of denied pity towards 3 characters: a terminally ill mother, a homeless man beaten to death in general indifference, and the poet Pier Paolo Pasolini massacred in a circumstance, still obscure after many years. The show is inspired, in part by Michelangelo’s work, which is entwined with Pasolini's poetics, with an in-depth analysis of the "miraculous" and "religious" vision of the world even if far from a confessional setting as the poet himself declares in a famous interview.

 

The parable ends with an unexpected fact, a glimmer of light and a sign of hope and regeneration that for a moment drives away the ghosts of guilt, but perhaps only for the ephemeral duration of a

show
