SHOOT ME is a new creation for the company on the music by the English rock band Spiritualized, formed in 1990, and on some recordings of Jim Morrison declaiming poems about freedom.
The construction of the work is based on the concept of “concert-ballet” revised in a contemporary way: music and dance are combined to create a piece without a story, but, thanks to the power of music, sometimes aggressive and sometimes poetic, this piece guides us to discover open imaginaries and emotions.
A central element of SHOOT ME is the group strength guided by individual voices, the desire of a body that wishes to be observed and a body that wants to be perceived, that wants to communicate.
The work is inspired by images of demonstrations, pride, catwalks, everything that unites us in a group and at the same time allows us not to lose our individual voices.
The exact opposite of a military parade or a political party. We refer to the beauty of the body at the community’s disposal as a source of entertainment, but also of reflection and research.
“SHOOT ME” is in fact the term used by videomakers when they film an action with a camera.
In pop culture, instead, ” SHOOT ME ” is a slang term that is often used as a request to feel emotions after a period of alexithymia “please, shoot me with some feelings…”.
A work that wants to create a direct dialogue between the dancers on stage and the audience in the auditorium: a game of seduction, of looks, of sweat, an assault on the senses and an ode to the body, to breathing the same air, sweat, tears, fury, pride.
