“Studio for Holiness/Étude pour la sainteté” written and performed by Erika Di Crescenzo. Inspired by the thought of Georges Bataille, the work explores the fine boundary between holiness, madness, desire, and corporeality. A provocative and magnetic staging evokes the mystical and feverish universe of historical figures like Joan of Arc, creating an emotional journey where ecstasy, rebellion, and the search for love intertwine in the quest for one’s sacred vital space.
“Adeus” directed and choreographed by Lupa Maimone. Featuring Vinka Delgado, Simona Ceccobelli, Ayelén Tejedor, and Elisa Zedda. Five women explore old age as a presence already inscribed in the body. Through circus, dance, and object manipulation, they engage in a dialogue with prostheses of possibility, masks, and limbs that organically merge with them.
“The Vertigo of Desire” written and directed by Giacomo Costantini and Violette Cortiles.
An intimate and ambitious work that blends circus, music, illusionism, and literature to explore the human nature of desire: a paradox that resides in our deepest intimacy, yet is a foreign force that does not entirely belong to us and that we cannot control.
“Reface” written and performed by Chandra Grangean and Lise Messina, from the company Les Idoles. A physical and musical exploration based on the idea of transformation. A continuously evolving process in which the faces and bodies of the two performers constantly change through the use of tape, wigs, and makeup. A dance that continually shifts in form and tone, where the performers appear at times as comical, frightening, innocent, unsettling, and grotesque creatures.
“Blu – a Hundred Steps from the Sea”, a new production by Simonetta Pusceddu.
