hosted at Teatro Palladium on Feb 18 with Denti and on Feb. 21 with White Out
- The title of our season is “Vertigine”. What is vertiginous to you?
Vertigo is the moment when the future aligns so sharply with the present that it takes away our time to breathe. That instant when everything comes into focus in a single gesture to which we can only surrender. Vertigo is courage, excitement, fear and love.
- What power do dance practices have to change the imaginary and/or act the world?
Dance keeps honesty where words lose it. The body’s movements cannot lie. Dance, even the smallest and most hidden, personal and deep, will always be the most powerful indicator of how we are. In this way, dance acts on the world, restoring our confidence and capacity for the freedom to be ourselves.
- You are hosted with two works that somehow portray transient states of the body. In the first case between acrobatic language and contemporary dance, but also between desire and nightmare. In the second between life and death, between excitement and fear. What kind of bodies emerge or would you like to see emerge from your research and practice?
I hope that an authentic body emerges, one that can convey the audience’s imagination deep into the themes that the two performances bring to the stage. A universal body to which everyone can entrust their idea of what they are looking at and find it to their own sensibility. A body that overcomes the physical barriers and limits that define it, to become a narrative and emotional instrument beyond its forms and appearance.
