on stage on 14th of March with “Go figure“
- The title of our season is “Vertigine”. What is vertiginous to you?
Vergine means for me the sensation of losing and finding my balance everyday all over again.
Vertigo is not something I’m afraid of, rather it is an opportunity to lose my balance and to believe in my body to find again the relationship with gravity. Vertigo it’s not knowing it’s to lose control.
- How has your aesthetic been enriched by working with nonconforming bodies?
The aesthetic of my work is affected by the body that is making it. In this case the unique body of Shmuel proposed me new forms. And new ways to create architecture from a body that works different than mine.
In this creation my focus was to create beauty from a body with a logic that I cannot know. In another way, in the time that I was creating this piece my focus was to see the beauty in all forms and to discover the uniqueness and to sit as an opportunity for new language.
- What power does dance have to change imaginaries related to the body and affect the world?
Bringing to the stage a body that for so long has been perceived as fragile, creating new forms of expression that my body cannot do, invites us to think differently about nonconformity. So dance has the power to change something, with the understanding that each time we work with a unique body that gives us the opportunity to speak in another language.
