The first part of the 2024 season of the SpazioKörper in Naples ends with the performances of the Sosta Palmizi company (KörpermeetsSostaPalmizi), one of the very first contemporary dance groups in Italy and an artistic and pedagogical point of reference for the new generations of dancers and choreographers.
On Saturday 8th June Agata will be performed, a suggestive improvisation of gestures and notes created by choreographer Giorgio Rossi and pianist Livio Minafra; on Sunday 9th June Dodi by choreographer Sofia Nappi will be presented, an exploration of the state of torment and dissatisfaction that shapes our lives and Mondo by Gennaro Lauro, a profound reflection on the will of the human being.
Sosta Palmizi manifests itself as a place of possibilities and encounters, an incubator of creative experiences in favor of shared practices and spaces sensitive to the word of the body. Among the productions proposed at SpazioKörper, an improvisation that combines the immediacy of the gesture with the beauty of sound vibrations, on stage Saturday 8 June (18:00 pm): the choreographer/dancer Giorgio Rossi, for the first time together with the dancer Gennaro Lauro, and the pianist Livio Minafra will share precious and unpublished improvisations. The performance Agata presents micro stories composed of gestures and sounds, in an experience that recalls the freedom of a certain type of avant-garde jazz and that leads the audience into an imaginative dimension between crystalline flashes and delicate sounds of water, sparkling notes and deer dances, free and sublime movements and resonances.
Sunday 9 June (18:00 pm) will be the turn of Sofia Nappi, international choreographer and dancer who presents her Dodi, from the Hebrew “gift, my beloved”. The duet sees on stage the dancers Adriano Popolo Rubbio and Paolo Piancastelli and expresses intimacy, trust, sensuality, but also human relationship, delicacy, lightness and passion.
The show tries to rediscover the subtle poetry of the relationship with the other to find a deep listening of the present moment and new possibilities in this reality: this innate sense of torment that unites human beings appears as one of the most precious gifts to share and the awareness of it helps the performers to go deeper, finding acceptance and freedom in the movement.
On the same evening, choreographer and dancer Gennaro Lauro will also perform with Mondo, a solo with a universal title that becomes a profound reflection of the projection of being: the word mondo means earth, but in this case it is also associated with the game of 'hopscotch' and is the opposite of immondo. The choreographer's research takes its first steps from the observation of the individual's will to preserve a small part of himself indefinitely: we collect images, moments, points of arrival, results, hoping that a detailed chronicle of our various selves can provide us with greater truth. Alongside movement, which becomes an expression of our personality, there is breathing, that continuous and implacable act that accompanies us throughout our lives: our only possibility of being is, ultimately, to continue being, to continue breathing and walking without ever "ceasing to sculpt our inner statue".
