Rumors is a three-fold project about the deconstruction of representation, reduced to plot, voice, scene and body. It is an art film, a text – based performance and a book.
Based on the tragedy of Medea, it depicts a mythical woman by means of the Rumors of her entourage. These are part of the royal court as well as stereotypes of our society, shamelessly portrayed. Characters mix pre-recorded voices, including Filippo Timi, Arianna Scommegna, Steve Piccolo and Paolo Maria Noseda, and bodies of real performers.
The film debuted at the first edition of Kino der Kunst in Munich, 2013.
