choreographic project by Pierandrea Rosato that explores themes of hyper-modernity, alienation, and the tension between hauntology (nostalgia for unrealized futures) and technological accelerationism. Inspired by thinkers such as Giorgio Agamben, Mark Fisher and Jack Halberstam, the work challenges conventional narratives and artistic processes. The project is developed from three perspectives: Timelessness in Art where the work, based on Agamben’s contemporary concept, embraces the idea of art as a search for the light of stars that have not yet reached us, challenging linear dramaturgy and embracing failure as a form of creative exploration; Dark-Futurity-Queer: influenced by Fisher’s speculative philosophy and aesthetics of the “strange” and “uncanny”, the piece questions normative perceptions of reality and envisions alternative queer futures; and Child Omnipotence, inspired by Avgi Saketopoulou, the project examines the interplay between risk, trauma and queer consent, using the figure of the child as a symbol of both vulnerability and transformative power. Through a performative and ritualized approach, the project aims to create an unpredictable and open experience that reimagines perception and knowledge. Artistic research is enriched by the collaboration with sound artist Mariachiara Katatonic Troianello (Katatonic Silentio).

Mariachiara Troianiello, also known as Katatonic Silentio, is an Italian sound artist who works at the intersection of electronic music, performance art, and sound studies. With over 15 years of experience as a DJ, his sets vary from ethereal abstraction, combining musique concrète, world music, spoken word, ambient or dub, to more club-oriented performances, crossing techno, broken beats or drum'n'bass. As a composer, she explores the interaction between sound, space, movement and body through her work in theatre and dance. As a researcher, her current work delves into the most ancient and mythological dimensions of sound, exploring its origins and tracing its evolution from primitive cultures to the modern world.
