FREE ENTRY
Giorgia Briguglio and Mariana Cerino Calazans
This empty space is not bad at all. Addosso floods it: bodies that participate, attune, and collide. Contact is not unequivocal: how many things does it evoke? The performance poses this question through the exploration of the nuances of being together, alternating moments of harmonic synchrony and the negotiation of conflict, in which the rebounding impulse becomes the driver of the action. Addosso investigates closeness as a polysemic circumstance, generating an atmosphere of surprise and risk.
