Archipelago was created during the choreographic exchange between dance artists Fabio Novembrini, James Viveiros and the dramaturg Ginelle Chagnon, in the “Duo à trois voix” project. The work looks at communication in an unusual way, by means of manipulating natural objects: small rocks, and the poetry hidden in them. This led to a practice acknowledging the importance of dialogue and the diversity of societal, environmental and historical realities; and, of course, of the fragility of the human condition.

Choreographer Sara Sguotti continues her collaboration with the Dance Well dancers, part of the community of Dance Well, contemporary dance practice for people living with Parkinson’s. Hop is a journey though the body: a lone body, where the common feeling feeds the strength found in being alone and isolated. In the vicinity, the energy and positivity generated by the movement swells up like a wave. Hop is a living energy that overcomes the barriers of what is possible, where new heroes are born.

A body that traces its own journey through equal and opposite impulses: on the one hand, a moving sculpture that expands the duration of the natural gesture, creating infinite geometries on which, however, it doesn't dwell. On the other hand, an enigmatic organism that twists, cracks at the mercy of its possibilities of metamorphosis. The process of research is a meditative path, made of continuous concentration and attention to detail, to try to shape the anxieties and contradictions that live there.

choreography Adriano Bolognino
with Rosaria Di Maro and Giorgia Longo

Inspired by Pompeii’s suggestive cast of ‘lovers’ – two twisted bodies embracing one another – Adriano Bolognino’s duet digs into the intimate gesture suddenly interrupted by the overbearing force of nature, still preserved forever. Locked in their eternal embrace, the lovers’ identity and story remains a mystery.
With solemn and somber music, Bolognino’s duet invites the audience to visit this 2000 year embrace through a sculptural choreography stretching time and gesture.
