What If The Wind Could Stay The Bird
2022
Dancer: Silvia Baldo
Although it is imagined that sudden and strong gusts of wind can
destabilize their trajectory, birds always manage to keep their flight stable. Their body has evolved to be able to support it. The
wind becomes a light rustle that surrounds them - never being
overwhelmed - making them free to move.In the same way, a dancer moves freely in the surrounding space, following the music.
Flight and dance intersect, making space and time their own, and
telling each other not only as a metaphor for freedom but also for
life itself. In a work halfway between the private performance and
the happening, the body moves on the notes and their vibrations,
allowing itself to be transported lightly. Change the movement, but
not its suspension. The public loses the role of stranger, immersing
themselves in the work.
