HELLO STRANGER is the title of the book by and about Motus published by Damiani Editore in Bologna, presented in 2017 on the occasion of the special project promoted by Comune di Bologna and Emilia Romagna Teatro Fondazione with the contribution of Regione Emilia Romagna – Assessorato alla Cultura.

Opened by an introduction by Wlodek Goldkorn, it is an “atlas of images” taken from nearly a hundred performances by Motus, as well as an atlas of textual fragments. It has no chronological order, it rather has a rhizomatic and exploded nature, which reveals Motus’s passion for the art of deflagrations…

The composing pillar is the actor’s body as a feeling machine, as the sacred-foreign guest with whom Motus has fought, built, destroyed and transformed the sign of its artistic mark. These words are like a polyphonic soundtrack, made of short pieces by the company, friends, artists, curators: travel companions in that “theatre for gangs and solitary predators,” as Antonio Attisani prophetically defined it in the early 1990s.
