Days thursday
The Latin word MANIFESTUS (clear, evident) indeed contains the word manus (hand). To manifest is a way of saying "I AM HERE," it is the moment when we, together, seize a fleeting trace of reality and present it to the eyes of the public, the piazza, of others.
The choreography explores an abstract form of movement, starting from hand gestures and drawing on various street dance practices, creating an intricate, ever-changing energetic space that manifests itself by dancing in the flow of the present.
Followed by DTalk, a conversation with the artist.
