White out

Piergiorgio Milano

TICKET

White out is the term used in mountaineering to define the total loss of visibility in the sense of distance and direction. It is created when the uniform whiteness of a heavy cloud cover meets a snow-covered ground, which reflects almost all the light it receives, making it impossible to move forward or backward. A stalemate condition that can lead to extreme consequences. A frontier between life and death with a gentle appearance, soft as clouds and snow. White out is a tribute to all the mountaineers who have disappeared or risked disappearing in the endless white of the heights: the conquerors of the useless. White Out is a show that completely blends contemporary dance, creative circus and mountaineering, with a strong cinematic and theatrical character. Three performers give life to the narrative of a mountain tragedy which is told with the principle of flashbacks and temporal alternations between the different scenes. White Out is an ironic and dramatic, fun and engaging journey, not only through the natural landscape evoked on stage , but through human interiority itself. The mountain therefore as a mirror of man.

Piergiorgio Milano began his career in 2002 studying at the Flic circus school in Turin. In 2004 he moved to Toulouse where he studied at the national circus arts center Le Lido. In the meantime he became co-founder of the 320Chili collective, one of the first Italian contemporary circus groups. He subsequently moved to Brussels where he established his base in 2008 and from there began to travel internationally as a performer for several world-famous choreographers. Since 2015 he has mainly focused on creating and disseminating his own work. His works have been supported and presented by some of the most important European theaters such as: Les Halles de Schaerbeek Brussels, Theater National Brussels, Espace Malraux Scene National Chambery, L'Odyssee Scene National, Espace Periferique Paris, Le Prato Pole national du cirque de Lille, TorinoDanza Festival, Festival Vie ERT, I Teatri Reggio Emilia, Auditorium Parco della Musica Roma, Theater Nebia Bienne, Theater du Passage Neuchatel…and many others.
