Conditio Humana

For years I have been fascinated by the medieval depictions of the church of San Michele, Maggiore in Pavia.
For me, they are symbols of the human psyche and its repressions. The ephemeral crumbling sandstone of the façade, filmed in blur and movement, is for me the symbol of the eternal uncertainties of our existence.

Confronted with my view, the three performers show how they deal with it, from conscious to carefree.

A touch of “nouvelle vague” narrative has crept in. (F.v.G.)
