(R)esistentia comes from the desire of the two performers to explore their cultural and historical roots. The two Italian London-based artists investigate the physical, political and historical act of resistance as a paradigm of what it means to exist as immigrants in the post-Brexit and pandemic scenario. The work navigates through a series of tableaux which explore their relationship as women, friends, sisters.
