Fears, as irrational and divine spirits, take possession of people, villages, cities and even entire nations when they lose the connection with their own unconscious material, when they ignore conflicts and social outcasts.
Fear close us in ourselves. It is a circular thought, a fenced area. An enclosure of no communication. Thought all individual worries are connected to the collective ones. The more we fear the more we're alone. The more we're alone, the more we fear. And shadows come over the community. But where does fear actually come from? How is the fear of a single person connected to the community? Doesn't exist a connection between the hate poisoning the society as for instance homophobia, xenophobia, islamophobia and frustration and repression of each individual? It's actually when we are more afraid that we are the most dangerous. Marie-Louise von Franz, analyst of the Jungian school, wrote:

"As long as such collective demons get us, we must have a little bit of them in us; otherwise they would not get us, for then our psychic door would not be open to infection.”

Fables, as well as Theatre, always had carried out the social task of keeping an open dialogue between the ordinary and the dark, magic world; they represent a window onto the oneiric, a link to forces which are not submitted to the rational control, to statics, to physical or economical laws.
The desire of starting this new artistic research comes out, once again, from a personal necessity: I wish to face those cracks opening at night in my sleep. "To face" it's probably not the right expression, since it is always related to the lexicon of fight. No, I would rather "question", "listen", "give space" and make precious those hours during which fear grips my mind forcing it to a deadlock. Fear is an uroboric thought swallowing our presence away from here and now in favor of a solipsistic world.
