Humus vertebra

Trio Humus vertebra gathers the three figures appearing in solos Fidèle à l’éclair (Claudio Stellato), havran (Jaro Vinarsky) and babil (Eric Domeneghetty), from The Scarecrow Cycle, a series dedicated to this emblematic figure.

The starting point for this hallucinatory fable is the scarecrow, this vertical being, absurd and exposed to all winds, standing between earth and sky. This figure haunts the piece, but secretly, from within. In this trio, you will find all the ingredients typical of Karine Ponties’s original work: wonderful atmospheres, a strange, tender comicity tainted with profound doubt, acrobatics, a puppetry-like use of set, and short films projected on stage, all expertly woven. The graphic score by Stefano Ricci, author of the illustrated book Humus vertebra, portrays hybrid characters, apparitions somewhere between human and animals. A fragile, yet sharp poetry sharing that instant at the heart of illusion: the uncertainty of being.
