From a study carried out within the project "Behind the door", Gabriella Cerritelli obtained a research work on "body memory" based on texts from Troubling Love by Elena Ferrante.

"Behind the door" it is the story of a woman who, prompted by a sinister and disturbing attraction, gains access to a dark matter. This awakens the memory of a repressed trauma.

Delia, the protagonist of the novel Troubling Love, investigating the sudden and violent death of his mother recounts a harrowing harsh and violent family history. She relives people and places, finds smells and physical feelings that bring her to his shadow zone by returning an experience denied.

In Corpo/Memoria, the gesture and the word dig into the past and, starting from the darkness, they reveal the possibility of exceeding and openness to a new present.

“Every road interrupted It is a closed door that recurs in all the routes we take in our lives. You can change direction forever or find yourself opening the door, by choice or by necessity.”
