[…] The fire we can no longer light, the prayer we no longer know, nor do we know the place. All we can do is tell the story." And again it was enough.
(Extract from a tale by Gershom Scholem)

Nella casa c’è un pino che brucia is an intimate contact with the forest, a tangible and at the same time symbolic place, a habitat from which man, through his evolution, has become irreparably distanced, preferring to construct an artificial space for his survival, thereby losing the connection with that which Darwin first called Deep Time, the continuous, biological flow of living things that in nature is perceptible, physical and pervasive. This return to the forest, acted out by the company, emerges in all its violence and affection for the impossibility of man to return to a state of nature, despite its rituals, its repetitions, its attempts to dominate the space. All that is left is to endow the forest with an ephemeral aura, an evanescence, perhaps the closest thing to life. This performance is the result of a series of the Company’s residencies at the Tenuta Dello Scompiglio since June 2014.
