Tragedia Endogonidia is a dramatic cycle that develops along eleven separate Episodes which are linked to ten European cities.
It’s an open representation system which, in the course of three years, continuously transforms itself and shows – each time - the various stages of its own evolution. Episodes are therefore named after a space-temporal abbreviation which marks the places encountered along the route made by the Tragedy, that is the cities, and also bears the progressive number relevant to the transformation process.
The word Endogonidia refers to those simple living beings that have, inside of them, the presence of gonads: this allows them to reproduce themselves unceasingly. Tragedy, on the contrary, presumes an end (of the hero). Tragedia Engonidia is like stating the infinity of the end.
The intention is to represent the tragedy by re-thinking it, here and now, in the place and at the time we are currently living. The sequence of images do not go back to any acknowledged myth, they are rather always projected in the future. In all Episodes some basic and recurrent figures stand out; themes and concepts of the tragedy, elicited from the real condition of being spectators.
The destination of Brussels, reached by the 4th Episode, introduces new figures into the humanity of the Tragedia Endogonidia. These characters are linked to the theme of time, that is not abstractly considered here, but it is embodied in the biological age of people. BR.#04 considers human life in its dimension of duration, especially questioning about the enigma of its start, its birth into the world, its initiation into language and it being swallowed by the abyss of time.
