A hybrid creature, part human and part mole, finds itself on planet Earth in search of a space where it can plant itself and grow.

Come se radice is an experimental short film documenting a one-hour nocturnal performance.

The performance stems from a personal and universal need to find a habitable and belonging space. It explores the theme of home and the relationship between humans living in a sterile urban environment and the nature confined outside it. The work conveys the frustration of struggling to find such a space—both natural and social—while also acting as an ode to resilience.

The force of desire propels the human figure into a continuous search.

The performative action consists of dragging a heavy jute sack filled with soil, attempting to plant oneself in various points of the city. What unfolds on screen was performed live, unscripted, allowing the body itself to speak through this powerful desire-action.
