The Art of Life and Death by Claire F. Crescini and 20 Seconds by Silvia Remigio are dance solos in which the female body becomes a place of memory, resistance and transformation – a rebellion against the boundaries imposed on bodies and a poetic reminder of their powerful, sensual vitality.
Claire Crescini explores the delicacy and power of the body, its connection to nature and the desire to discover it – a dance between breath and weight, between disappearance and awakening. Silvia Remigio places the body in the field of tension between violence and law and the rebellion against social power. Voice and text name the injuries that become loud and can no longer be silenced. The pieces penetrate the silence, breaking it through movement, sound and stillness. Between pleasure and pain, shame and self-assertion, a space of liberation emerges.
