Regressus ad Uterum: the universal language beyond the incommunicable

Description
My research stems from the need to investigate an immutable human peculiarity: miscommunication. By definition, it is an existential condition that makes it impossible to communicate oneself objectively to others. This state consequently results in a form of isolation and loneliness - a continuous attempt to be understood by clinging to the most humanly possible, followed inevitably by failure. Despite being the only living beings existing on Planet Earth to have the privilege of speech, humans are also the only living beings who fall victim to inexpression, incomprehension, and the impossibility of communication; at least, through verbal language.

This experimental performance aims to overcome the barriers of speech by creating a universal language composed of the five human senses, allowing us to enter the most private sphere of the other being - a "Regressus ad Uterum."

Director Biography - Micol Ceretta
Ceretta is an Italian creative based in London, passionate about research, visual analysis and storytelling. Her imagination aims to investigate the mind, human behaviour, and the "internal landscape." She is fascinated by the relationship between human beings and the outside world, and costume used as reflective and expressive means is a source of continuous stimulation and investigation. She admires it so much when the arts communicate or make people reflect on themselves and what happens to or around them.

Ceretta has a BA in Fashion Styling and Communication at NABA, an MA in Fashion, Film, and Digital Production at UAL, and her work experiences allowed her to acquire different skills, from creative writing to sewing, from styling to image creation, from pre- to post-production. She slowly started building and talking about her own world, collecting her thoughts in written form and then processing them into concrete visualisations, using still and moving images to create solid communications.
