Between music and theater, six performers and a pianist give life to a durational performance, an action without beginning or end, representing a humanity seen up close. Alessandro Sciarroni – Golden Lion at the Venice Biennale and Triennale Milano Teatro’s associate artist – always uses repetition and physical resistance at the core of his practice, as elements capable of unveiling the obsessions and fragilities of the performative act. This new work by the artist invites the viewer to go through a mystery, to inhabit together with the performers a suspended space-time, for as long as they wish.
The performers – like sleepwalkers, works in the flesh – organize their senses and movements in relation to the gaze of the viewer.
The first intuitive spark of the project is a text initially conceived by Alessandro Sciarroni as a script for a theatrical staging. The script later took the form of a novel and today represents one of the offshoots of DREAM.
Alessandro Sciarroni is an Italian artist whose work goes beyond traditional definitions of genre: starting from a Duchampian conceptual framework, he uses a theatrical framework, stealing from the worlds of dance and other disciplines such as circus and sports. His creations have been presented in contemporary dance and theater festivals, museums and art galleries, in Europe, America, the Middle East and Asia. In addition to dedicating a monograph to him, in 2019 the Venice Biennale awarded him the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement in Dance. Among his most recent awards: Europe Theatre Realities Award, Hystrio Award and Premio Coreografo Elettronico. Alessandro Sciarroni's works attempt to unveil – by putting to the test the performers' physical endurance – the obsessions, fears and fragility of the performative act.
