L’ Acqua Xe Morta / The Water Is Dead presents a surreal triptych of narratives that trace humanity’s stasis at the precipice of ecological and psychological collapse. A woman who cannot sleep, a sinkhole in the road, and a hospital that floods intertwine as the city’s ‘body’ collides with a ‘wave’. Between folklore, mortality and dream, L’ Acqua Xe Morta is the suspended moment before the disintegration of the body, mind, and civilisation.
