Synopsis
Created by an artist with a unique aesthetic, this work immerses us in the luminous universe of ElleX, an androgynous being with a slender body, moving through a suspended world beneath a shower of bright comets. As the ground tilts, her body releases glowing pearls, a hidden vital substance. Unbalanced, ElleX embarks on a pilgrimage through the confined space of her world, with the pearls transforming into ElleY, her clone. The two replicas engage in an intense sensory exchange, sharing energy and pleasure, transforming into luminous flowers on a white canvas. At the end of their dance, they reveal their essence of light and vital energy.
A word from Tënk
This colorful and playful work dazzles with its originality, creativity, and experimental vision. At the heart of its unexpected explorations and discoveries, the film presents bodies unafraid of their transformations. With delicate control and great sensitivity, Valeria Galluccio creates a magical universe, free from clichés, that explores moments of disorientation—intense, yet never violent—as pathways toward freedom. We also wish to highlight the strength of her performance and her radiant choreography, which extends beyond the bodies themselves to encompass the entirety of this dreamed ecology.
