PROVE D'AUTORE XL
2022 | eighth edition
From 8 to 17 January the Production Centre, DANCEHAUSpiù, hosted the creative residency of the YoY Performing Arts of Emma Zani, Roberto Doveri and Timoteo Carbone.
In a 10-day work period together with the selected dancers of Dancehauspiù, the artists created a new choreographic design born from the project of Network Anticorpi - Prove D'autore XL #9, the action that offers the possibility to young emerging choreographers of Italian contemporary dance to measure their authorial skills confronting themselves with ensembles of young dancers in order to connect different choreographic languages.
WORK CONCEPT
In a fictitious epoch, in the ballroom of an illusory palace with no ceiling and immersed in nature, characters, aesthetics and sounds belonging to the past, present and future come together, creating a magical atmosphere belonging to a world so recent that it seems distant, moved by its own rules to be discovered and made up of traces, visions and imaginaries that appear and disappear, in a game of random references and similarities.
The salon thus becomes a space of evasion, a flow of changes in which to find free associations, a space in which the boundary between illusion and reality becomes increasingly indefinite.
It is from this imaginary that our choreographic project comes to life, which, wishing to escape the logic of definiteness, proposes itself as a research on the simultaneity of different languages and as a constant game of citations and reinterpretations that unfold in a dance made of new geometries.
The music, an integral part of the choreographic project, absorbs and reshapes this imaginary world built from distant melodies and voices.
RESEARCH
YoY proceeds on its research path with the aim, avoiding surface overlaps, of expressing a precise meaning through the construction of multi-dimensional structures and imagery.
This project is a search for meaning, where movement and imagination can be transformed into the representation of a new expression of freedom.
YOY PERFORMING ARTS
