Crowded Bodies
Dancing in your Shoes/ Italië | IT
During the workshops with the Bologna community, we often wondered about the question of identity, observing it as a cultural construction, as a collection of encounters. We observed our presences of crowded bodies with the urgency of a silent space to find each other closer, moved in the dynamic of becoming together.

Verkadefabriek/ Studio Tramkade

The creation intends to focus on the uniqueness of each performer as the nucleus of possible collective evolutions to give rise to a choral action of portraits in the making. Imagining it as a love parade, in which each body is a matrix that dances and generates multiple variations, it is intended to reflect on the time of becoming and on the desire to feel close, welcomed, united, and understood.
