THE SOUTHERN ITALIAN MUSIC AND DANCES
COMPONENTS BECOME THE MOTIVE TO CREATE CHOREOGRAPHIES THAT STRIVE TO REACH A PERSONAL AND INTENSE EXPRESSION. GROUNDING PRACTICES AND NATURAL MOVEMENTS BECOME THE MAIN APPROACH TO THIS ATTEMPT TO BRING BACK TO LIFE THE SOUTH ITALY DANCES RITUALISTIC IMAGES AND SYMBOLISM, LIKE THE EARTH AND THE CIRCLE. THE INTENT IS TO BRING NEW AND POWERFUL MEANING OF THESE SYMBOLS THROUGH A CONTEMPORARY READING KEY.
