EVA and EVA – What If?

Studio Amebe, Biennale Arte 2024, Giardini delle Vergini, EVA and EVA, art performance, Arsenale, What if?, Independent performance

In the evocative setting of the Biennale Arte 2024Giardino delle Vergini, AMEBE’s independent Art performance unfolds, woven with symbolism and anthropological reflection. Two modern Eves, emancipated and self-assured beneath a majestic tree, disconnecting from Adam’s shadow. Their union, symbolized by the “knotted serpent,” transcends mere defiance, manifesting a profound struggle against entrenched paradigms. As they taste the forbidden fruit, deeper questions arise: what would humanity become in a world untouched by sin’s stain? A powerful exploration of our potential unfolds, questioning the very essence of paradise and the intricate tapestry of human existence, suspended between the allure of Eden and the harsh realities of our world. This manifesto thus becomes a bold assertion of the role of women in the human narrative. 2024
