ALCUNE COREOGRAFIE. A multidisciplinary and experimental performance that puts the dancer Ramona Caia in dialogue with a precious and ponderous work of video collection, editing and subsequent reworking of a series of types of dances. The choreography is built through the mimesis of a multitude of video fragments, edited in a strict sequence, rummaging through the history of dance and performance, going through cinema and internet and looking for a sensitive kinetic matter. In the first part the dancer embodies, transforms, connects and brings back to the present the body of the image, probing its dynamics, freedom and linguistic immediacy without a privileged point of view. She eradicates the body from its own imagery in the development of a choreography that proceeds linearly towards its end. The dance attempts to free itself from the force of the image, ceasing to refer to anything else, and beginning to refer only to itself. In the second part, an original video by the artist Roberto Fassone offers a sequence of visual choreographies, a symbolic landscape where the human being is absent but in which he still seeks a relationship with the body on stage and reflects on that intangible matter of which dance is made.

JACOPO JENNA. His research examines the perception of dance and choreography as an extended practice, generating various performative contexts in which to relocate the body in relation to movement. Graduated in Sociology, he trained in dance at Codarts (Rotterdam Dance Academy). He deals with training and educational programs for various age groups, developing new strategies of relationship with the performing arts.
He has collaborated in Europe with stable companies, choreographic research projects and various artists including Jacopo Miliani, Caterina Barbieri, Roberto Fassone, Ramona Caia, Bassam Abou Diab.
