Ceremonials linked to life and death radiate, detachable metal objects generate armor, and a personal altar hosts a composition dense with meaning on the ways of acquiring strength, faith, and hope. The work includes material collected during kinetic, sonic, and historical research on human anatomy and body image, as well as material from various religious ceremonies, images, vows, and protection rituals. Investigating social and personal meanings around the contemporary idea of faith, the need for freedom in vulnerability, in silence and in anger, and the acquisition of power through collectivity. *The presentation of the Performance was supported by Onassis Stegi Touring Program* ![OnassisStegi logo 2023](https://operaestate.it/images/OnassisStegi_logo_2023.jpg) ![Aerowaves Default Logo Black](https://operaestate.it/images/Aerowaves-Default_Logo_Black.jpg) ![unione_europea.jpeg](https://operaestate.it/images/unione_europea.jpg)
