My research highlights the role the human body plays as a political orchestral element. Mussolini's fascist state had a vision of a new Renaissance, but not only in the role arts played to shape this new society. Only the male was at the core of the Nietzschean superman, in opposition the female body was disenfranchised to promote capitalistic prosperity. To achieve this goal, many diverse artists supported the efforts of Rome, the Futurists in particular had an outstanding contribution to the development of sometimes progressive agendas in theatrical art, that involved the audience as main purpose. A look back in history is necessary to dissect the philosophical aspect that related the thespian art form to Mussolini’s political ideology, and the modernist influences of these two.

Through the creation of a social media landscape my thesis connects fascist principles with contemporary positions from Costa Rican president Rodrigo Chaves Robles, and the double discourse that is created due the contrasting ideologies projected overseas and the ones at home. By transforming the space into a cyber limbo, the audience of this interactive installation is faced with the overwhelming saturation of hyper-modernity. Therefore, new information techniques should be evaluated under a broader scope to try to decipher potential parallelisms between the past and the present.

It is now more than ever that ghosts of the in between war period resound once again, especially due to constant rise of the new far right movements, not only in Europe but also a new league of Latin American presidents, as an unleashed result of Donald Trump’s election in 2016, and the extremist violence that surrounded his attempted in 2020, to declare elections fraudulent but also across the television on the events of January 6th. This new normality of political uprising revived the glamorous past of fascism among society, and us as an audience.
