This video is a capture of the final segment of Dr. SerenaGaia's presentation at the JICMS Conference at AUR, Rome, June 2017. The study of Teorema presents an ecosexual perspective on this classic of Italian cinema by Pasolini. The film was released in 1968, the momentous year that became known as sessantotto in Italy. It shows how this paradigm shift included a cultural revolution that attacked the malady of the Oedipal Syndrome, and connected its pervasive effects to the abuse of the partner we all share by the extractive industries. A bisexual, polyamorous visitor is at the center of the diegetic structure, where he initates victims of the Oedipal Syndrome into the practices of ecosexual love. With this prophetic movie, education to inclusive and fluid love begins. The film taps into the director’s personal life as a client of the Roman male sex-trade scene to sacralize sex as the casual magic encounter of two human ecosystems. The sessantotto experience flipped the filmmaker’s consciousness and the conventions of amorous expression in the era. In the film, the desert represents the force of ecosexual love: the Earth appears naked in the segments that suture the different consciousness explored in the film. Paolo, the father, connects with the Earth’s metabolism when his heart beats next to it. Emilia, the housemaid, occupies the soil of the periferia to save its fertility from pervasive concrete. As “desert,” the partner we all share enters the equation of Pasolini’s theorem.
