Deserto tattile is the second episode of Nicola Galli’s choreographic research dedicated to the desert and to the broader notion of landscape. The choreographer’s poetics – devoted to the absence of hierarchies between the languages of the scene – unites and condenses gesture, light and sound in an organic relationship to generate a figurative archive that narrates the desert understood as an uninhabited physical space, a landscape of the body and an existential condition.
Nicola Galli deals with body research and is a choreographer, dancer, light and costume designer. His research takes the form of actions and devices ranging from choreography to performance, from installation to graphic-visual design. His work embraces a transversal scenic horizon, in which the body becomes the radiating centre of an artistic discourse that is substantiated by a scenic sensitivity devoted to the exploration of movement as a hybrid panorama of knowledge. Since 2010, he has been developing a choreographic investigation focused on the profound relationship between man and nature and on the analysis of the notions of "stratification" and "landscape". Since 2014 he has been an artist supported by the production organisation TIRDanza. In 2018 he won the "Premio Equilibrio"- Fondazione Musica per Roma and the "Danza & Danza" award as best emerging choreographer.
