"We are this current already charged with matter" Henri Bergson
According to Bergson, life is an impulse, an immense wave that starts from a common center and divides into divergent currents. The philosopher calls this impulse, which drives living organisms towards novelty and creativity, against the inertia of matter, the élan vital.
The IN VIVO performance offers an incarnation - a poetic, choreographic and musical variation - of this key character in Bergson?s philosophical theater, in which sound and the body are ceaselessly traversed by impulses, by an unpredictable spurt that is constantly renewed, so that life continues even beyond death.
