THE SMOOTH WAX OF INGENUOUS SOULS

Live Performance, 40-minute solo - Choreographer

“We have an interval and then our place knows us no more” - Walter Pater, The Renaissance

A woman carrying a burden yields to memory, unfolding the space, with a desire to fall. Her wistful yearning for home, ruptured from it, as the shadows of evening deepen. Body parts and spiral streams as passages to self-possession. 

“And in her tears shed in such absences there seemed always to be some soul-subduing foretaste of what her last tears might be. A system of visible symbolism interweaves itself through all our thoughts and passions; and irresistibly, little shapes, voices, accidents–the angle at which the sun in the morning fell on the pillow–become parts of the great chain wherewith we are bound.” - Walter Pater, The Child In The House

 
THERE IS RESISTANCE, THERE IS PAIN, A REACHING FOR REST; SPEECH FRAGMENTS WITH A CONFESSIONAL QUALITY. A POETIC NARRATIVE WITH REAL EMOTIONAL POWER
— Laura Santini, Genova Mentelocale
Art beyond boundaries. A direct confrontation with myth, dream states, archaic forces of the human psyche. Physical work, action and letting go open the way for the expectant space, an emotion landscape in which the actors’ visceral spheres and the aesthetic composition merge.
— Il Seculo XIX
