INCORPUS corpo ritual
We live in times of des-memory and imbalance with matter.
The organic and cyclical feeling of our body is diluted, distorted or simply erased from our days with the concurrence of screens, lights, objects, personal goals and false priorities. We want to cling tooth and nail to the primordial sense of belonging on Earth and to the continuity of the human species in connection with the Other beyond itself - animals, plants, stones, elements.
We refuse to participate in yet another objectified and dysfunctional search and so we truly start with the Body - because everything started with the Body, whether with the body of homo sapiens with its unique characteristics to Earth and Life (Zoe), or with this body of the individual who was born and begins his unique story through Life (Bios).
Without looking at this body and what it brings to us, received either as a limitation or as a transcendence, we are just pretending that we exist - as humans and as unique beings.
