Arena del Teatro India

Emotional mimicry is the process by which we get to understand the emotions of another person, imitating their expressions and movements. The way of moving toward another person, even before communicating by language, is initiated by the face and the feelings it expresses. Externally portraying emotions helps us to navigate, understand and express reciprocal needs. But there is the possibility that these are controlled in a virtuosistic way and intentionally manipulated. 

In Mood Shifters three performers set off on a journey shared with the audience, covering the whole of the stage searching for intimacy, love and above all recognition.
