Reverie's 'Sogno 5: Icaro' Performance at Casa Morra, Naples
Artist Reverie (born 1994 in Vinci, Tuscany) presented her performance 'Sogno 5: Icaro' at Casa Morra in Naples, reinterpreting the Greek myth of Icarus. Suspended by a crane, the artist entrusted the audience to decide both the duration and height of her flight. The performance concludes a cycle of research on dreams that has characterized her work. Reverie's contemporary Icarus is a genderless figure with prosthetic arms opening as if to unfold flight, symbolizing an invitation to embrace an authentic, dangerous, yet true life. The project aims to build collective memories and shared territory between artist and audience, consolidating an empathic relationship where energies merge with the artist's body.
