FIRST PREMIERE
BEARS I- Daemonie is the first spectacular issue of the Bears Trilogy, that rewrite three big myths of literature: Barbablù, Otello anf Faust. The trilogy aim to approach the problem of the manipulation of the sense by the use of images.
The representation of the reality, compromised an changed in information, is the heart of the project.
BEARS I- Daemonie retain the structure of the Charles Perrault’s fairy tales and use it as like a fertile breeding ground for become a contemporary tale. This tale is an account about the crime news that fill our daily, and it represent the bewitching/repulsion that this type of news provoked.
On the one hand the need/desire to know and to test the dark side that could be present in anybody, on the other hand the need of sacrifice as a fatal mistake that is necessary to pay.
The dramaturgy is developed in two levels: on the one hand the fairy tale, deals with the point of view of the main characters, on the other hand the dead women.
The overlap of this two structures disturb the codification of the images and move it away from the morality that is general agreement.
The victim, confronted with the freak, reveal its potential of monstrosity, while the killer is taped from the television cameras and presented as a nice and inoffensive person.
