Poetry “Il motivo di una danza” - "The reason for a dance" with Fabio Pusterla Sometimes the movement of the dance is created from our daily gestures at work and from the words that we pronounce mechanically the flight of imagination. Widen spaces and time, within which the words become unpredictable movements, travel hints, memory, and the body tries to sing. Darkly in the background resonates the violent voice of the world and of history, the buzz of the news; but the background has become larger, more complex. Here, the life of animals and that of men proceed in an identical flow, stirred by the wind of the ages; the future burns in the present, in the hour in which existence is spent and renewed, resisting wear and getting lost, without calculation or project, purely neglected. Fabio Pusterla A dancer in dialogue with poetry Choreography and direction Tiziana Arnaboldi Dancer Valentina Moar Music and Sound Production Mauro Casappa Production Teatro San Materno Choreographic notes Poetry, gesture and sound create enchantments and suspended atmospheres. Light suspensions, sweet, heavy, angry, like a solemn game, deep longing for life. Fabio Pusterla is a firm believer that simple gestures of our work give birth sometimes to a dance. One dancer, now motionless, now driven by the flashes of hand gestures, of arms and accompanied by tremors of unprecedented power, she emphasizes her presence in the blank. The abandonment to the ground is to feel the pulse of emotions, or to give in to the wounds of illusions, flowers transformed into piercing arrows. A solemn game, a ritual; perhaps to meet the reason for a dance. Sound design, sounds of a carpentry, a sickle that cuts the grass, factory noises. These are the starting points to work on. And then the poet’s voice, fragmented, rhythm, distant echo that sometimes backs up, overlapping and in counterpoint to the reading. And the song of the dancer, a slight song that moves away, gets lost in other rooms, to emphasize the memory. A contrast of lightness and power, the limit of hearing of sounds and frequencies that are shaking the walls and bodies. Video Edoardo Oppliger

Azione, November 23, 2015  “ Il motivo della danza “ We witnessed a performance that urges our senses, where reasons are evoked by words, the sound of sheets are sliding to the author's feet, looks are studied, briefly, everything orchestrated so that verses were incarnated  harmoniously and punctual in the choreographic dimension of five danced stages. An absolutely perfect dance, physical and delicate at the same time, shrouded in "space buzz that tears you apart", what is contained in the poetry of Pusterla is singing physicality, choreography, light and dark until "time swallows it". Giorgio Thoeni
