Evocative and powerful, a sophisticated minimal performance for incarnate sound and sounding bodies. A physical score generated through the use of a sensitive sound environment applied to the peroformance. Messages from philosophy, poetry, literature intersect around body, intimacy, touch, in a tension between eros and thanathos, human and divine. The performance reads and dances Jean-Luc Nancy, Nietzsche, Nijinski and others. A nude scene, a number of microphones in a circle on piles of books, two bodies interact in a dramaturgy built through signs and actions on scene, multiplying the layers of meanings, merging conceptual and dramatic.

Restano intatti l’idea e l’impianto drammaturgico. Ma la nuova formazione ha imposto una riflessione sulla scrittura coreografica ed una radicale riscrittura sonora grazie alla disponibilità de L’Asilo che ha accolto il lavoro in residenza coreografica.
