Being here, in what will no longer be is a performative composition that emerges from the body’s direct encounter with history as it unfolds. In November 2014, during the protests and clashes in Hong Kong, Alessandro Carboni gathered fragments of lived situations through his own physical presence—gestures, tensions, displacements, silences. These embodied traces became the raw material for a work that reimagines the body as a cartographic device: not a neutral recorder of space, but an active sensor capable of registering fractures, resistances, and the invisible forces that shape the city. In the performance, the body maps events as if they were shifting geographies, reorganizing them through choreographic thought. What remains is not a literal reconstruction, but a constellation of movements, a living archive of a place and a time already lost. The work unfolds as both testimony and transformation, a way of being present in what has already passed.
