Monumentum stands for: memory, document, sign of recognition, something that comes from the past. Something that lingers and that, stopping the continuous progression of the production flow, moves into the depths of memory, in a sort of temporal anachronism.

Crossed by dreamlike visions and non-verbal bodily experiences, such as guided hypnosis practices, this first part of the project has a temporal progression enclosed in the performance of a solo by Megumi Eda, former historic dancer of Karole Armitage and interpreter with sharp and expressive neoclassic elements. A body therefore in a vital impetus in an attempt to open other levels of memory and reconnect with its own stories. There is always a certain delicacy in dealing with the solitude of a body, despite the quantitative solidification it is possible to understand that matter is not stupid, nor blind, nor mechanical, but that it has a rhythm, a language, an internal movement and its own organization: a feeling.
