BENEATH THE DUNGEON FLOOR
The performance was developed within the framework of my final master’s project, The Clinic of the Unbodied, for which I conceived the costume design and art direction. Performed by Tara Dalli, the piece unfolds at the threshold between material and immaterial states, where a costume made of water soluble plastic gradually dissolves through contact with water. This act of disappearance exposes the fragile boundary between human and non human, turning the costume into an active agent of transformation.
Inspired by El Libro de las Fuerzas by Julián Galay, the work explores how memory, time and matter extend beyond human perception. The costume, designed as a hybrid organism combining organic and synthetic elements, reflects on decay, permeability and continuity. Through a precise yet sensorial direction, the performance stages a state of transition where body, material and perception merge into a single, unstable form.
