Romina De Novellis, an Italian performer born in Naples (1982), was a longtime resident of Rome. After many years dedicated to dance and theater, she graduated from the Royal Academy of Dance de London and continued her studies at the University of Rome 3. She lives in Paris, where she is a PhD student in Anthropology et Sociology at the EHESS. Her thesis is on the anthropology of the body.[2] Her artistic work is on the concept of the body in terms of public processions, installed in urban spaces and followed by the gaze of passers-by. Gesture is at the center of these paintings that come to life through her body. Her aim is to show how a state of trance, alienation and madness, can manifest on the body, especially in the precarious human conditions that exist on the margins of society (related to employment, wide social networks, and family). Women, Saints, Daughters, Icons of everyday life, the protagonists of Romina De Novellis's work originate from her studies in anthropology and ethnomusicology. These women become a social message and, at the same time, politics.[3]
