From Priam begging for mercy kneeling at Achilles' feet to George Floyd lying face down on a sidewalk suffocated by the pressure of the police officer Derek Chauvin's knee on his neck, a single universe of violence and suffering.


The new performative action places the human body at the center and focuses on the position of the loser, the defeated, the victim who begs for mercy before the executioner - a condition horribly recurring in the war epic; getting down on one's knees is also the position of gratitude, of the body that wants to remain in contact with the bottom, the root, the invisible, the dark, the unknown and at the same time tend upwards, the air, the other by himself, spherical, luminous, vibrant, sensitive.
