A work by Fabrizio Favale / Le Supplici, a rare and powerful dance, at times rhythmic and tribal, at times ethereal and elusive, performed by a cast of exceptional dancers. Ten dancers shape an unnatural, artificial, otherworldly landscape and inhabit it as its creatures.

With this work, the group delves into a theme that has long been explored and has inspired the creation of several works: the presence of animals and our relationship with them.
The presence of animals has always sparked human imagination and seems mysteriously connected to dreams. But it also seems to suggest new senses of space and time, new languages, impossible intelligences of shapes and movement.
From these premises, this work moves in search of abstractions of movement that seem to belong to worlds different from the human one. The enigmatic aerial spinning of an ultra-light aluminum backdrop, operated by the performers at the beginning of the performance, introduces vast horizons of unknown landscapes. Here, a series of dances appears and disappears from a distant, misty place, illuminated by a light in the background.
The dancers often work closely together in a woven pattern, creating atmospheres that are sometimes rhythmic and tribal, sometimes rarefied and ethereal.
In Alce, zoomorphic figures (some inspired by ancient popular traditions, others invented) punctuate the choreography, like an enigmatic dialogue from afar.
