Have you been to Gorizia before?
If not, something you’d like to find: A healthy and laid-back environment, where art and all sorts of exchange are at the heart of hospitality.

According to your personal experience:
Dance is... a vast world of internal and external relationships, a constant evolution of the self, of one’s body and of the awareness of being in a specific space with other people. A language, an exchange, a life philosophy, a profession...  
Dance can… create interpersonal relationships, develop new visions of ourselves and of the universe surrounding us. It can open up new social and exchange horizons, but it can also be a springboard for a healthy cultural design of a region yearning for new perspectives.
Dance will be… a primordial art, a language of union and sharing. A virtual space between body and soul, between the individual and the social world. It will always be the energy that builds up places, encounters, and human relations.

The most difficult thing that dance made you experience: being subdued to political pressure and to volatile fashion and cultural market trends which too often bend the real nature of the artistic universe. The most beautiful thing that dance made you discover: to not be smothered by difficulties, even when complex, but to always find new resources and personal motivation. To not fall into sedentarism and to always be in search of new challenges… to always leave room for discoveries and encounters, for wonder and for a generous spirit.

A piece of advice to a budding company: to strive for a continuous search, to create any type of collaborations, to question but also to reward themselves. To never lose the primordial purpose of dance as a form of aggregation and exchange. To be generous and to be listening. To learn respect this world as every other professional environment, but also to draw a line between passion and profession to avoid being overwhelmed by it. A wish for your audience: to let themselves be carried away by emotions, to not try transpose the logical dramaturgy of theatre into dance, but to gather with extreme freedom its poetry, its energy and truthfulness through movement, and to try understand the scenic relationship of the performers and the set design – because even an object, in a child’s mind, can become a character. To live the vision of this pièce as a journey, where the ultimate path is the sharing between the artist giving it to the audience.

What inspired your show, in 3 words: In this work I wanted to tell the story of my father, a drummer, who passed me down the love for the artistic quest, but also the harshness of incomprehension. I’ve broadened the vision of the father-child relationship, by analysing the role of the heir, asking myself in which stage of life one accepts the role of the other as a “mere man” and not as an idealised image.

Now tell me why I should come and see it: HERES: NEL NOME DEL FIGLIO is a pièce that starts form a vital throbbing energy, from a real feeling that shakes time and space. It doesn’t hide itself behind an idea or behind the fear of being excessive – this work wants to share without filters the beauty and the resistance between father and child, between holding and giving in, between acceptance and repulsion. HERES is a link between music and dance. It is a role play between two drummers and a dancer. On scene, we do not act, but we live every day that journey that we dedicate with never-changing intensity to those who let themselves be carried away!
