Performances:

Talk to You
by Kinkaleri
with Marco Mazzoni
Opening and meeting are the keywords of Kinkaleri's speech. Meeting an audience of visitors in an active, non-verbal relationship, dictated by the invention of a gestural code that transforms the letters of the alphabet into simple acts, words in choreographic movement. The encounter becomes a direct experience of a word that is a body in motion, allowing itself to be in the immediacy of a dynamic, in the power of intensity.

Ikea - site-specific

by and with: Cristina Kristal Rizzo

produced by: CAB 008
The sight of certain animals is said to be more powerful, sharper, even crueler than that of man. A blindfolded figure shares a space with the public, the space of vision, amplifying the obliquity of the gaze, creating a vision that knows how to retain memory as a natural reserve, without history, without tragedy, without events as in a continuous and hypnotic flow.

Verso la Luce

by and with: Leonardo Diana

produced by: Versiliadanza
Diana analyzes the human condition, the bewildered man and his obsessive search for an identity. The spirit, constantly subjected to the new, thus unable to construct an existential horizon, seems to have left the problem of identity to the body, to its simple appearance.


Storing Something fo Future Use
by and with: Marina Giovannini

produced by: CAB 008
A perpetual accumulation of variations in the overlying structure, sparse corrections and distortions of physical memory and the general atmosphere.
Actions bearing impressed memories that explore the temporal nature of life and claim their existence as such, as processes of mineral stratification and calcification.

Vanishing Act
by and with: Samuele Cardini
Dance for a moment, an unrepeatable moment, like life, like death. Inspired by the work of the artist Robert Kusmirowski, a dark presence in a white space, a dreamlike performance, a strong but inevitable contrast, the borderline between what was and what will no longer be, if not in memory.
