Zoé is the construction of a space in which a small community is brought back to the zero degree of life. A space for ‘reflection’ on the body and existence which, in its nudity, offers itself to the gaze, human, animal, depersonalized, headless but also symbolic and metaphysical. In this work the bodies are becoming space, architecture and landscape in constant transformation.

The choreography is a writing on bodies and of the bodies, that in this case becomes a declination of the forms and meanings of their nude life. The collective memory and the consciences of today are called to interpret these signs. Questions of a political, social and cultural nature emerge, closely linked to the theme of the contemporary body, to which the process does not assume the task of responding, but rather of making them emerge in order to touch and perturb.

The show reaches the characteristic of a stage installation, as can be seen also in the previous works of Luna Cenere, to which is added the relational character of a community, a group that becomes expression, place, landscape in transformation and migration. Continuing in her research on the body lying on the condition of nudity, Luna brigs out its metaphysical and animal potential.
