UGOLA ANIMALE
by @nicola.mascia
for and with @ballettoteatroditorino @fattoria_vittadini

premiere 18.6.26 8 pm @spaziofattoria @fabbricadelvapore

This is an alarm call. This is an emergency statement. We are here and we are animals. Not ferocious beasts, but radical beings shouting for love, screaming for tenderness. Grabbing our skins, embracing our innards, sharing our bloods, fusing our tongues to speak a common new language of hope, giving voice to the invisible in a time of silencing. Vibrating hunters fighting for unity and the survival of fragility. In a visceral reflection on the catastrophic state of humanity, a multigenerational international cast of nine performers, will inhabit an empty space. A wavering herd, shifting and morphing between human behaviour and animalistic instinct, in which predators and prey will vanish. Disruptive war games will be exposed and juxtaposed to emotional and sensual landscapes to reveal an intricately layered choral choreographic work. Carefully stitched together fragments will create an elaborate new narrative, weaving together the purity of the body with powerful complementary audiovisual elements for a profound contemporary vision.
