7 ARIE

Seven women, six dancers and a violinist: they make up a line, a (non) border on a white corridor reddened by the light. The border line is permeable and fluctuating that it is not even a line or even a border: the air is both parts, the inside and the outside - beyond the parts.

In 7 ARIE the boundaries shift, new fertile fragilities are organized. The consistency of the border is transformed into a mirage where bodies create new gaps as possible.

The performance is built on a nine meter long raised platform, a limit space within which to live and discuss the space itself as a border. We discover that the threshold is good ground, where differences can be encountered, where identities can be developed, where new potentials can be nourished.

7 arias is a sequence of dynamic and emotional drawings, which metaphorically represents the need and power of re-reading walls and clashes with listening, curiosity and freedom. The live music, violin and electroacoustic instruments, is built with a strong interaction with the performers, favoring the dialogue with the choral body.

Performers: Anna Maschietto, Elena Ajani, Ilaria Bagarolo aka Gary, Maria Cargnelli, Michela Lorenzano, Valentina Milan, and with Laura Cariati.
