DESCRIPTION

The world saved by women, to paraphrase Elsa Morante, reflects on spaces of freedom expressed in women’s everyday gestures.
Seven very misogynous “Maltese” proverbs were chosen to recount a shifting over time of constricted, discriminatory postures.
Il mondo salvato dalle donne (The world saved by women) is structured as gestural ‘ceremonies’ interpreted by women, taking place during a walk along the cliffs of Ħaġar Qim.
Each centers around a proverb manipulated and turned inside-out through actions generated by the women in concert with nature, constructing forms of encounter in gestures that evoke friendship, listening and resistance. As if in a sort of alchemical process, the words of the proverbs come apart and are re-composed in gestures.
This nascent metabolism, simultaneously silent and emancipated, unites nature and the body, gesture and place, choreography and rite, emphasizing the urgent need to inhabit the world through forms of listening and everyday invention.
