State of Exception

(2012)

Crisis has always been a background noise in the back of our lives, there have always been moments of mandatory curfew. The violence of loss is what makes us move forward. State of Exception is failure looked at as a success, it’s the poetry of failure that sublimates the crisis and gives in to the revolt and the struggle.It’s a shipwreck with land in sight, with the destination already announced. The error is profoundly theatrical, it ‘s choreographic. Let us start the show with a scream. We will end it when we can transform that cry into action.
