[PURGATORIO] IN VISIONE - 2008
[purgatorio] IN VISIONE embodies the strength of fragility. A powerful army of strings and seven brass instruments grinds against the body of dancer Emio Greco. This contrast creates a powerful tension between musical impulses and the body’s reactions to them. Bach’s St. Matthew Passion, arranged by French composer Franck Krawczyk, accompanies the soloist on his via dolorosa. [purgatorio] IN VISIONE encompasses the pilgrimage of a striving body both at a standstill and in onwards movement. After their kaleidoscopic HELL (2006), Emio Greco and Pieter C. Scholten continue their journey through Dante’s La Divina Commedia. With [purgatorio] IN VISIONE Greco and Scholten return to the root of their artistic collaboration, to the visionary strength and obsession of a single human body.
