MADE IN ILVA - The contemporary Hermit draws inspiration from the diary of a worker of the ILVA in Taranto and from the testimonies of some workers in the same factory, interviewed by the company, to meet the poetic texts by Luigi Di Ruscio and Peter Shneider.
What is more topical in Italian society than the ILVA tragedy? The biggest steelworks of Europe was a dream of prosperity and employment for an entire land. Who does not remember the advertisement "Made in Italy", "made in Ilva"? Now it is a nightmare called environmental damage, a poisoned land and the impossible choice between jobs and health.
A man, a factory worker lives with the conflict of wishing to escape from the incandescent steel cage and needing to carry on working in that hell to survive. He is imprisoned in a mechanical and repetitive existence, in a post-modern landscape where the alienation of the production line reduces the human being to an artificial machine.
The scene is set with metal structures continuously transformed by lights, video projections and the performer's actions interacting with music and sounds that become obsessive rhythms, while a persuasive voice orders him "work, produce, act, create...".
