SIMONA BERTOZZI
April 19, 2024
h. 21:00
Teatro Galli – Palco
The doors opens and the tiger leaps…
My body goes before me
bringing one thing after another out of darkness into a ring of light
(Virginia Woolf)
Empowered by the energetic impulse and visionary horizon of young figures and corporeality, ONDE takes shape through a performative, choreographic, and musical practice that embraces the presence of extended and floating bodies, moving between ecstasy, animal leaps and curving towards evanescence.
Rhythm and effort intertwine with attempts to escape, anticipate and subtract. There is no time to define the boundaries of postures; the balances are subtle instants that immediately lean into other shapes and desires.
ONDE incorporates the ongoing stream of images and the necessity to regenerate within the rhythm of Virginia Woolf’s renowned play-poem The Waves.
Bio
Simona Bertozzi, a graduate of DAMS in Bologna, furthered her training in dance across Italy, France, Spain, Belgium, and the UK. In 2008, she founded the Compagnia Simona Bertozzi | Nexus, solidifying an authorial path of choreographic research and production that, over the years, has garnered support and hospitality from important national and international institutions. In her works, the body language reflects the interpenetration of various practices, thoughts and imaginaries, making the creative act a vital and multifaceted action. In 2017, she was a finalist of the UBU Awards with “And it burns, burns, burns,” the final episode of Prometeo. In 2019, she won the Hystrio Corpo a Corpo and the ANCT (National Association of Theater Critics) Award for her artistic journey marked by rigour and radicality.
