MATA’M PSICOSI
LUCIA DEL GRECO (2025)
original music & sound design
Lucia Del Greco delves into the universe of Dolors Miquel to create atmospheres that return to the audience both the beauty and violence of the poet’s imagination.
She explores cruelty, surveillance, naivety, and the inevitability of death, embracing the constant metamorphosis of the human being across time and space. Here, to look is, in itself, a beautiful and violent act.
Among sheep, slaughterhouses, cowbells, and ancestral omens—guided by Neoplatonic Greek philosophy, Ovidian metamorphoses, and Dantean hell—the stage proposal casts a critical gaze upon a society in disintegration.
Then, with Dolors Miquel’s words about the world, we ask ourselves whether there is still room for that which is small, fragile, and ancient.
And we close our eyes.
And we touch ferns with our hands.
And nothing else.
Mata’m Psicosi (Kill Me Psychosis) is a cruel, voracious, psychotic reality in continuous metamorphosis.
Populated by ancient glaciers, metamorphic rocks, and marine algae, it presents a world subjected to a surveillance system that seeks to strictly define the limits of what is human, what is legitimate, what has value.
Across the six episodes that make up the dramaturgy of the performance, we find various threads: the constant transformation of living beings, the questioning of identity, the genetic cruelty we carry within us, and finally, love as the only life-generating force.
We have entered the world of Dolors Miquel.
Before us lies a mosaic of multiple and fragmented identities and thoughts.
We embrace the metamorphic temptation inherent in all living beings.
Dolors Miquel defines herself as “a subject of poetry, a lover of knowledge, a visceral rhapsode, and a spiritual mammal.”
And Mata’m psicosi is a doorway that invites us to recognize all of these attributes: it is the work of a possessed author.
Within her lucid and delirious psychosis, she cries out: “Save me, non-human world”—a plea from an author who also undergoes her own metamorphosis, transforming from Dolors into Lola, thus changing her artistic name.
This change coincides with the writing period of Mata’m psicosi—a transformation that took place between June 3, 2021, and March 12, 2022, “a moment in which she resumes being Dolors in a metaphysical twist impossible for Euclidean minds.”
