The Sibyls

“Fight, politics, fantasy, madness, expression. I made this film, detached moments, connected in my psyche: poetry intervention in the Gaiola style, my love for the sea, for women, for the Nemesiache, for beauty. I dream in insomnia of a reality that deforms beauty... I dig, I penetrate with my eyes through prohibitions and disfigurements in my expropriated territory. I play with the sadness of a fragility determined by infinite mobile interests: spaces for me, spaces for others." L.M.

Two years together by Le Nemesiache with the psychiatric patients of the former 'Frullone' hospital in Naples. This experience of music and dance had a profound impact on those who took part in it. This film is a testimony that indicates possible alternatives to the inhuman marginalization of the mental hospital institution. The director of the hospital Sergio Piro, operators and nurses from the 6th women's division and the Department for Youth Problems of Naples collaborated in the making of the film.
