Dance for a Spectator
DESCRIPTION
A meeting between a dancer and a spectator at a time. Accordo – Dance for a Spectator is an immersive and transformative performance that invites an authentic, intuitive and silent dialogue between human beings.
Guided inside a mandala of 5 elements inspired by the 5 Wisdoms in the context of Tibetan Buddhism, the scenic action develops within a symbolic space – the mandala – that welcomes the audience in an active and sensitive way.
Each spectator is invited to enter the dilated time of the dance, to let themselves be crossed by sensorial stimuli, to act, to stay, to contemplate. In a continuous flow of transformation, everyone will be able to experience, in turn, a unique moment of dance one to one with the artist.
It is a time to resonate, to tune like musical instruments, to inhabit the space of authentic listening, without having to prove anything.
An experience that educates empathy and listening, a contemporary ritual of connection through the body and the heart.
