FRA CERVELLO E MOVIMENTO - EXTRA DRY - 1999
In the energetic dance performance Extra Dry a dancer is joined by his double. His universe is invaded; the two bodies cross invisible boundaries, moving from the explosive to the exploratory in the search for oneness. The perfectly controlling mind, subjecting the body to the will of the dancer is confronted by the body's resistance to obey.
Extra Dry is the third of a series called Fra Cervello e Movimento. Fra Cervello e Movimento is a set of three performances - Bianco, Rosso, Extra Dry that investigate the dyad brain (cervello) and movement (movimento); a mind that wishes to control and a body that is curious for new sensations. The motive is the interest towards the reactions that inner impulses impose on the body. How can the body surpass its limitations? How open can it be in its responses and what kind of transformations can it take on?
