Silver Veiled is a video work that originates from the research material of the choreographic diptych AeReA | ARA! ARA!.
Created in dialogue with the architecture, the use of the flag is central to the structure of the work. A series of unveilings unfold, evoking the close and ancient brotherhood between two textile objects: flag and shroud.
The drapes are presented in a silvery grey, cleaned of symbols and coats of arms until they expose their plastic, invented essence. A blank canvas without connotations where anything can emerge, begin or disappear.
Freed from the fabric of the flag, the coat of arms transforms into a handle and a brand at the same time, reminiscent of the wax seal in ancient times. Instead of the majestic and fearsome predators often used as heraldic emblems of power, such as the eagle or the lion, the symbol is derived from a parrot's beak - a bird that can imitate and repeat phrases and words, ignoring their contents and effects.


The video is presented at the Passages Transfestival 2023 – Transitalia, which hosts both choreographic works.
