“A Domani” tells about the oldest, strongest and purest type of love: the one between a mother and her son.

She is ill, and has little time left; his life is affected by the unchangeable faith of the illness. Everything around us becomes uncertain, even space and time. He wanders around day after day; domestic objects become ghosts, shadows, they haunt him. It is exactly in this struggle that the human being emerges, looking for a way of making sense in the most unthinkable aspect of human condition: learning to say goodbye to someone we love.

"What do you think, mum?" / "Tomorrow"

Mia Madre movie

During the creation of “A domani” Lost Movement studied a rare degenerative neurological syndrome: the Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD). The performers tried to understand how the patient moves and behaves in their ordinary life.

The scene is delimited by a perimeter of clotheslines, with hanging white cloths, which closes the scene on three sides, creating a “ring” delimited by the public. At the center, on the bottom, a door: the border; “Inside and out”, “reality and thought”.

In the end there remains a promise, “See You Tomorrow”, the best wish that can be made.
