The unicorn’s origins are barely known. Their roots went lost while distracted generation of humans followed one another. What happens in our collective imagination when a mythological figure appears without a myth that founds and justifies their existence? A fragile and eradicated symbol comes to existence.

“I, Chiara Bersani, 98 cm tall, I self-proclaim flesh, muscles and bones of the unicorn. As I don’t know its heart, I’ll try to give it my breath and my eyes. I’ll dress their image up, I’ll make a costume out of them, that will become armor and skin. We will discover our movements, our kisses, our greetings, our yawns, by means of a dialogue between my shape, that acts, and their shape, that clothes.

I, Chiara Bersani, 37 years old, I’ll take the responsibly of welcoming its long-standing bewilderment. I declare to give voice to the universal questions that puzzled it: “Why do I exist” “Where do I come from?” “If tomorrow you’ll find me in your garden, what would you do?”, “I’m good or bad?”, “Do I believe in God or am I God?”, “Where’s my love?” and “Who has killed them?”, “Why cannot I choose to die, now that I have reached the most humiliating step of my aging and I became just a horned horse, with rainbows coming out of my ass?””

This performance is part of Multiplié dance festival 2022 which is presented by DansiT.
