ITALIAN PREMIERE
Balance In is an intimate encounter between body and sound. A duet in which contemporary dance and live classical guitar listen to, brush against, and transform one another.
The work explores balance as a continuous negotiation: between two bodies, between human and instrument, between control and impulse.
Every gesture shapes the sound, and every note reshapes the space, creating a constant tension between discipline and spontaneity, harmony and rupture.
An invitation to be carried by movement, sound, and the presence of the other.
The performance is presented in collaboration with Centro Servizi Culturali S. Chiara di Trento and ariaTeatro ETS.
IN SHORT
Balance In is a duet between contemporary dance and live classical guitar, where body and sound constantly influence one another. Every gesture transforms the music, and every note reshapes the movement.
