Show
Dialogo Terzo: IN A LANDSCAPE
Alessandro Sciarroni
CollettivO CineticO
March 12 – 13, 2022
Yet, beside the patience and effort required by performing reiterative patterns, a new quality emerges, which eludes definition. Determination seems to lead to disappearance, to a voluntary extinction of the subject. The dance embodies an extreme act of love and, as in John Cage’s music, becomes a bridge to the sublime.

Dying on Stage
Christodoulos Panayiotou

The representation of death – a vertiginous proposition.
