Jacopo Jenna's new project is a research on the composite, rhythmic, plastic, relational use of hand movement and arm articulations.
Hands are the distinctive organ of mankind, they are faces without eyes, but seeing and speaking. They pass something from one body to another, they are the main form of non-verbal communication, they help us to tell a story, to reveal our innermost thoughts. The hand transforms invisible energy into the world of form, and the Latin ‘manifestus’ (clear, manifest) includes the word manus: manifesting is the moment in which we catch a fleeting stretch of reality with our hand, and present it to the public. A group of three dancers will be engaged, searching for an abstract form of representation through the hybridisation of certain practices of street dance, defining a complex system of ‘alternations’ that leads to constantly changing figurations.
