Detentio Corporis
first study
A woman, a genius of 20th-century sculpture, interned for thirty years in a mental asylum to atone for her sin of an overly emancipated life, not conform to the morals of her time. Detentio Corporis is a dance-theater piece rooted in the study of Camille Claudel’s life and art. It delves into the experience of a body in captivity, seeking to restore dignity to madness and recognize human fragility as a space of value and transformation.

“I walked, barefoot, through the corridors and cells of this place, with the memory of everything I had read and seen about Camille. Then I closed my eyes; it was the light streaming in through the windows that guided my steps. In Lumine.”
Starting from a choreographic research around the life and work of Camille Claudel the artist’s book In Lumine moves through the darkness of the former women’s ward of the psychiatric hospital in Udine, following the path of light.
