VITTORIA DE FERRARI SAPETTO + SIMONE GRAZIANO
DANIELE NINARELLO + DAN KINZELMAN
LUISA CORTESI + GIANLUCA PETRELLA

 

Three encounters with dancers and musicians. Independent modules, linked within a single evening, creating a triptych of music and dance outside normal formats to give shape to a variety of choreographic and sound styles evoking one another, seeking and repulsing one another, activating signs and further meanings.
This is not improvisation; each encounter springs from creative residencies, but the flexibility of the sound gesture in jazz creates openings onto movements as well, in a series of dialogues each time new in their uniqueness, resting on research set in motion during previous stages in the work. The dancers involved in the project have their own very personal languages, as have the musicians. The latter, having already had the opportunity to collaborate together, are able to predict certain twists in the course of the live performance which thus becomes a sort of single organism.
