Creation for the launch of Marina Rinaldi by Roksanda capsule (2019)
In the performance created for the launch of the Marina Rinaldi by Roksanda capsule in 2019, I am going to draw geometric shapes and patterns through dance and body, following and connecting my work to the designer’s creations, but also from the idea of “opposites”.
I am fascinated by the concept of elements that are born from a principle of “abstractionism” but find their own story when meeting; just as a body finds its own narrative and the right feeling when wearing a dress, so the dancing body finds its own narrative sense in the encounter with music.
I imagine therefore an exclusive performance, where the bodies of the dancers intertwine creating plastic figures, broken lines and games of fluid geometries, but always accompanied by the harmonious and poetic sound of a young cellist, to give geometry a soul, a place, a time. Colour, shape and fluidity: a performance built for an audience that loves to be carried away by the poetry of line and elegance. Drawing inspiration from the patterns at the base of Marina Rinaldi by Roksanda capsule, I am going to create an abstract poem of bodies immersed in colour.
A declaration of love to contemporary art, to what defines it: geometry, matter and poetry.

Music Ludwig van Beethoven (Symphony n. 7 – Second movement – Allegretto)
Costume design Bruno Fatalot
Dancers Arianna Ganassi, Antonio Tafuni
Duration 12’
Production Fondazione Nazionale della Danza / Aterballetto
Wrapped in the elegant and impalpable costume of Bruno Fatalot, a dancer moves solemnly on a barrel-pedestal, pulled by the painful and mysterious note of Beethoven’s Allegretto. His dance fascinates and seduces, as impressive as a prayer song.
An im-mobile dance.
Im-mobility of the secular tree.
Soft movements, invisible to the naked eye.
The blood dripping in the veins, the heart beating.
A sensually funeral dance.
Obstinate Love.
A dance that celebrates an incessant, inexorable, ineluctable flow of the
Life.
Combination of solemnity and simplicity.
«Simplicity is complexity solved.» Constantin Brancusi
