Animal Science
by Sayoko Onishi
Site-specific Butoh performance by worldwide known choreographer and performer Sayoko Onishi, music by Tony Lloyd.
Mesh
The work of Matteo Levaggi combines the double influence of Balanchine and Cunningham and adds an astute topical touch to this solid theoretical/esthetic base. Like his contemporaries Benjamin Millepied, Christopher Wheeldon, Wayne MacGregor, and before them Angelin Preljocaj, he bears the legacy of these masters in his genes. Mesh, a show specially created for the Centro Pecci of Prato, captures both movement, film projections, sound effects, and scenic elements. The choreography creates a link between the dancing body and nature, which is represented here by objects/junk, creating an atmospheric, visionary landscape. With these emotionally-charged elements, we meet again on stage the “artistic couple” Matteo Levaggi and Elisabetta Guttuso, who made their debut at the 21st Milan Triennale at the Pirelli Hangar Bicocca in the piece Yvonne, with the Ensemble Sentieri Selvaggi.

The site-specific performance focuses on Universe design. We are deaf observers of the mobility of becoming. In the face of uncertainty, choice, possibility, man's response is silence and abandonment to the inevitable laws of nature. Unknown space and ancestral matter. A thread that leads, which reveals and determines a common destiny, an inescapable fate. Three women, three entities, mothers of all creatures, generators of all that has been, and that will be.
