Marco Fichera and Chiara di Guardo
Supermarket aims to construct an uncertain, changing, temporally indefinite choreographic environment. Two bodies meet at the supermarket and the resulting relationship causes movements, gestures, pauses, and glances to explode. Through understanding each other, a transitory place, a non-place, becomes a place to inhabit. An anonymous space then becomes a territory of discovery for the bodies, margins of fulfillment where it is possible to live, as well as to dance. Attempting the search for a movement made to stir the surrounding space, creating outskirts to cross and to linger in, the bodies lose themselves in a time that is slow, then fast, then stopped: there is no longer temporal certainty on stage, only an unreal dimension, livable through the choreographic device.

Concept, choreography, and performance: Marco Fichera and Chiara di Guardo
Marco completed a master’s degree in theater and choreographic studies at the IUAV University of Venice. He studied contemporary and urban dance through an independent training path. He currently collaborates as a dancer for Kinkaleri. Chiara is an architect with an independent background in contemporary dance. She studied at the Politecnico di Milano, and thanks to an Erasmus experience in Berlin at the Universität der Künste, she had the opportunity to explore the possibilities of connection between the two disciplines. Her research moves at the intersection of performing arts and urban practices.
