Comment
An extensive work in theatre has thought me different artistic disciplines in creating personal comments of the time we live in. All my activities are in fact interdisciplinary performances which regularly result in artifact, image, installation or video, as a map for the reconstruction of the spiritual path I have just passed with my performance – urban action.
