Mariana Romagnani

Backpacks are more than objects: they are constant companions of life journeys; containers that carry dreams into new cycles, on journeys of discovery and in everyday life.


 

WORK is a duet between a woman and a backpack. In a dance along a shared axis, the two bodies negotiate weights and strengths, a relationship unfolds and transforms. Together they embark on a journey across images, memories and stories, inviting the audience to connect with the things we carry with and within us.

 
Through a poetic exploration of the connection between care and carrying, the piece reflects on what is considered work in society and embraces the recognition of our interdependence inthe work of caring.
