Ginevra – May 23rd
Performative outcome of the workshop “In Search of the Lost Gesture”
curated by CCN / Aterballetto and LUC-Libera Università del Crostolo
as part of the project OVER DANCE curated by CCN/Aterballetto and Fondazione Ravasi Garzanti
Ginevra is the result of research work based on the encounter between the Pre-texts protocol, a creative process based on reading, arts, and creativity to support people’s well-being and mental health, and dance as a tool for longevity and quality of life. During the Over Dance project, the Harvard protocol was embraced by CCN/Aterballetto and developed with expressive dance, starting from the shared reading of a document from 1603, from the Inquisition Archive, now preserved at the State Archive of Modena. The dossier, labeled “ASMO, Inquisition, b. 22, fasc 20, with attached confiscated magical writings,” recounts the story of a woman, Ginevra Gamberini, subjected to trial for witchcraft. But Ginevra is much more than a character living through the darkest history of modern age and Christianity.
Ginevra is every woman who has been forced to live in darkness by patriarchy. She is every woman who has been humiliated and whose freedoms have been trampled. She is every resistor and fighter against violence and oppression. Yet, Ginevra is a woman and a mother. The work done on this text is the result of a deep, embodied delve into the experiences of a woman’s body and intelligence, a victim of irrationality, superstition, and violence capable of rising and elevating itself, to envision a new ideal of humanity.
The show Ginevra is part of the cultural offerings of the social prescription system of the “Archives and Health” network.

What is offered to the stage are bodies á la recherche of correspondences between the self and being in the world. Traveling bodies that recompose the most complex of puzzles: that of our lives. How important it is to gather and seize the correspondences of pieces of ourselves and how important is the road, the journey to be taken! The chair is the compass of this journey, it is the anchor that prevents us from floating in this world like evanescent gas particles. It is the island from which we depart to explore together with the language of the body, accompanied and stimulated by words that trace possible trajectories. Words chosen and born from the journey.
What is offered to the audience is a humanity traveling along the most linear, jagged, and often rough trajectories of its existence. From the frenzy and also from the strength of an overly full daily life towards a new space of encounter with the otherness of oneself. A human journey, therefore, not just any journey. The gestures, the scenic rituals, the music are seeds collected and sown along the way. A body, bodies that make up the Circle that becomes the lung of collective breathing. Moving bodies that are concluded within a golden amulet, a sign of union between soul and body, between beginning and end. Like the divining rod that leads us to rediscover the ritual signs that accompany our humanity: from caves to smartphones.
