DOM- @ZONA K

18 oct. > 21 oct.

Milan, Italy

with 'The walking man'

“L’uomo che cammina ” (The walking man) is a landscape performance, a walking journey of about four hours for 20 spectators at a time. A figure, shadowy and elusive, strolls through the city. Through her journey, the landscape opens up and hides from the eyes of the audience, which follows at a distance, as if spying, poised between identification and detachment.

Starting from the graphic novel by Jiro Taniguchi, DOM- builds a dramaturgy of spaces to delve deeper and deeper into the tangle of the city, and let the living experience of walking become the pretext for a hand-to-hand with reality. The protagonist of the Milanese remake is the writer and playwright Antonio Moresco. Walking in his footsteps and following his figure from behind, the audience finds itself immersed in a phantasmagorical sequence plan. The spaces follow one another – a square, a station, a cathedral, a swamp, a wasteland, a motel, a swimming pool – and are interwoven with solitary writings and tales of nocturnal journeys.

After the original productions in 2018 and 2019, realised thanks to the collaboration between ZONA K and Danae festival, the project is now also offered in the English version for the international meeting (UN) COMMON SPACES.
