This performance explores the complex relationship between symbols and human perception, investigating how we observe, interpret, and judge our surroundings. Drawing inspiration from Carl Gustav Jung's theory of dream symbols and integrating personal visions and insights, it creates an experience intended to provoke the viewer and stimulate deep reflection on the nature of subjective reality.
The primary goal is not to provide definitive answers, but rather to spark questions, doubts, and new perspectives within the audience. Starting from the premise that an absolute objective reality does not exist, only an ongoing subjective interpretation of what we perceive, the performance seeks to challenge habitual methods of judgment, prompting the viewer toward a more instinctive and authentic understanding of the self.
As Jung stated:
"In the process of civilization, we have increasingly separated our consciousness from the deep, instinctual layers of the human psyche. Judgment, or rather prejudice, often represents a limitation preventing us from connecting with ourselves. The more consciousness is influenced by prejudices, errors, fantasies, and childish desires, the more the existing gap tends to transform into a neurotic dissociation, leading to an artificial life, distant from instinct, nature, and 'truth.'"
Only through the process of individuation—the harmonious reconciliation of conscious and unconscious—can humans achieve a state of completeness and inner peace.
