Music SHANGHAI PATTERN SUITE dancing body sound, xala by Ania Losinger marimba, percussion: Mats Eser Dancers Compagnia Tiziana Arnaboldi: Eleonora Chiocchini, David Labanca Art Director Tiziana Arnaboldi The performance mixes dance and music, music and dance. The composition "Shanghai Patterns" by Ania Losinger and Mats Eser is the basis for the elaboration of a suite for a contemporary dancer, accompanied by a musician playing xala and one playing marimba. Two particular and unusual instruments in a stage surrounded by a green-blue light typical of Shanghai. Absorbing a permanent place on the stage, they are the engine of all what happens, including gongs of Shanghai. Dancers Eleonora Chiocchini and David Labanca of Compagnia Tiziana Arnaboldi weave and combine dance to music. The interaction and synchronization of different dance languages leads to a mutual inspiration with a synergetic effect on the music. Video Edoardo Oppliger
