De L’Origine

«Let’s imagine the original scene.
1945
A single body devoid, a body without organs, a body without a voice,
futilely trying to move forward,
futilely trying to contain,
futilely trying to understand.
-What’s new?
With limbs outstretched to the max,
archer, messenger, emissary,
Hermes, archangel,
with the sound (of -) flying overhead
prayer, chanting, moaning
word choked in the throat of the herald.
In the beginning was the verb
-action-
What that came to (-) should be being said.»

Adaptation of adaptation, «Del Origen» is a performative reading piece. The text poetically describes a performance that should be embodied by a dancing body. In the absence of the dancing body, the word rises, revealing its potential presence. The reader stands among the spectators who look on. From there, the text invites them to feel that the dancing body is not the absent one, but the bodies present being moved by the images described. The body of the spectators, the projected voice and the light of the sunset accompanying the passage of time will then be the flesh at odds with the immateriality of the verb.
