ideæbi

January, 2022

What is skin if not a sheath that contains the very essence of everyone? What gives a visible and concrete form to what we are? A veil from where it cannot shine through all our experience, but rather that makes it faded and sometimes opposed to the truth. And what happens when this becomes a prison with no way out? When you feel like that bird in a cage but you tell yourself that it is still golden. When you feel it like tar but you show it to others like glitter. When at the same time it becomes the best and worst dress you can wear. Embellishing it with patches will not make you feel better but deciding how to wear it mindful of each tear can change your life. 

​

ideæbi is a working progess solo where improvisation is the primary method of investigation and the main areas of interest are sound, voice and movement.

The tool that connects everything is without any doubt the body. It is crossed by the external sound thus causing the movement and the consequent analysis of the described process leads to the use of the voice as a means of communication with the outside. The introduction of an additional external element such as the fabric has the sole objective of increasing the perception of the body as a continuation of the same in time and space that the latter leaves.

The transformation is the main topic, by which man can evolve and derive the best from the situations that arise in life. In fact, the performance can be compared to a journey towards awareness, both for the dancer and for the participating audience. This is the reason why improvisation keeps the research alive without bringing it completely to completion. This leaves a glimmer of freshness that regenerates every time thanks to the changing external conditions.
