Shared evening featuring four dance works:
(and then the boars entered), ORATORIA, SANDPIT, and SOMEWHERE
Teatro Falcone e Borsellino, Zafferana Etnea (CT)
Free admission
by Simone Lorenzo Benini
‘(and then the boars entered)’ is a scream, liberating and excessive, that rushes from the depths of the lungs along the trachea, invades the vocal cords, and transforms.
Exaggeration becomes a tool for affirmation and a search for freedom, involvement, and participation in the celebration of ambiguity. The air acquires a sound, travels through the epiglottis and pharynx, and exits through the lips. The body transforms, becoming a resonance box and stage for this scream.
