A performance that explores the body as a site of tension, ritual and transformation.
Inspired by the performance Benvenuto Umano, OMUS stages a physical and symbolic confrontation between the ancient and the contemporary: a struggle reminiscent of sumo wrestling, opening onto a central void where gesture becomes language and reflection on the human condition.
In the dialogue between weight and flesh, a contemporary oracle emerges — signs and visions surfacing from the skin as a form of collective memory. Violence cracks, turns into play, and creation becomes a living hieroglyph — an organism in motion, weaving together gazes from distant ages.
With OMUS, CollettivO CineticO shapes a performative ritual beyond binary logic: a visceral and poetic manifestation in which mystery becomes the foundation of thought.
Rough, bruised, suspended — the body becomes writing, the struggle becomes revelation.
