According to the legend, the technique of crocheting originated in a small village where a woman, fascinated by the spectacle of snowflakes falling on her windowsill, tried to reproduce their intricate design with a cotton thread and a big, curved needle. In his most recent work, Adriano Bolognino, one of the most interesting figures of the young contemporary performance scene, weaves these influences into his dance, creating a choreography that transforms and alters the performers’ bodies. Female dancers in fully crocheted costumes alternate winding vaults with agitated movement, producing a composition that captures the spectators’ attentive focus, as if they were standing by their window watching the snow fall.
