The most seductive thing these Italian actors do is stand still.
Under Ludovica Rambelli’s direction, they recreate Caravaggio’s paintings with their bodies, draped cloth, everyday objects and a single cut of light.
They build each scene before the audience, hold it, then dismantle it to become another.
Think about the physical discipline that demands. Supporting another person’s weight. Holding an awkward angle. Keeping a face suspended in grief while your muscles strain.
That tension gives the paintings a disturbing intimacy. x.com/sedrul08/status/211503…
