on stage on 26th of March with “Solo Goldberg Variations”
- The title of the season is Vertigo. What is a vertigo for you?
Walter Benjamin speaks about the vortex intending to project the sense of the origin of things into a whole, where the drop of spring water enters and feeds a cosmic and ancestral movement. Vertigo declines these reflections into a loss of “ground” and moves the individual into an extreme territory where he or she renegotiates the sense of gravity of things. An outflow, a form of experience, necessary, that grafts into the meanders of poetry and creates new nonconformist postures.
- What power does dance have to affect the world?
Dance deals with humanity’s gesture and awareness of movement for the emancipation of the individual. It grafts symbolic, formal, and associative novelties into the discourse of life and dwelling; it deactivates pre-constituted patterns in order to penetrate into the infinite breath of the body. Dance in this sense creates community and brings man closer to nature by sensitizing to the care of the land.
- “Johann Sebastian Bach’s Goldberg Variations define an immaterial architecture in which dance is inscribed in a continuous rethinking of the body,” In what terms “does the body assimilate images of the past and become the threshold through which to reflect on the future?”
Images of the past, or rather archaeology, always pose questions waiting to be answered. The past is not static but moves toward us according to a time of resonance. In the undulatory gesture inherent in turning to the past lurks the cognitive and springing experience of the origin that does not reside in a place, in the place of the past, but in the individual’s ability to ask questions that shake him or her out of the often homologated torpor of contemporaneity.
