International appointment promoted by the Danzeventi association, which brings the author's dance festival "Corpi in Movimento" back to the stage of the Baretto di Porto Ferro. On Sunday, starting at 8pm, the Brindisi company AlphaZTL will perform with Toxic Love and, directly from Canada, the Compagnie Virginie Brunelle with Foutoir.
Interpreted by parformers Davide Dibello and Matteo Aprile, "Toxic Love" is a co-production AlphaZTL and Fabula Saltica directed and choreographed by Francesco Biasi . The author tries to investigate and express, through the intensity of dance art, what is hidden in the soul of a drug addict. In this context, love and drug addiction turn out to have similar effects: they squirm in a mixture of euphoria, desire and submission, but the real question is: can love clean up the drugs in the circulation? This is how the story of two young people in search of answers, in a precarious balance, united by the faint hope of redemption comes out. Their life goes on repetitively, without an apparent future or an event that can put an end, for better or for worse, to their dramatic situation.
In Foutoir instead, the dancers Sophie Breton and Alexandre Carlos highlight the gradual change of human social and emotional relationships in the digital age, in this era of data in which the importance of non-verbal communication and the physical context is gradually being lost. The choreographies describe the dehumanization of our social relationships in favor of the strengthening of individualistic behavior.
Through a series of fleeting and disembodied encounters, Virginie explores the impacts of computerization and dazzling technological advances which, admittedly, simplify our lives, but which also shake up our habits and modify our behaviours, some of which prove harmful to our society.
