​

Figure coreografiche is one of the multiple creations of the research project Spoken Dance, a container of choreographic experimentations that investigate possible hybridisations between voice and body, between spoken language and language of movement, with original dramaturgies and aesthetics. This project on spoken dance and/or danced word started in 2023, will be articulated with different actions of study and composition over a wide time span, with the aim of building solid choreographic tools to support the identity of VIDAVÈ.

​

The creation compares certain rhetorical figures of spoken language to choreographic modes of composition in dance, with the intention of building a personal system for interpreting images, feelings and emotions, starting from written texts. A series of voices of singer-songwriters, actors and poets annoyingly interfere with the flow of movement of two dancers, so much so that they are forced to question the effect of their gesture on the audience. Through a self-ironic dialogue full of artifice, the authors seek the balance between functionality and expressiveness in performance, seriously reflecting on the sense of responsibility of the artist who creates for the other.
