OPSÌA is a broken up word, second element in composed words, derived from Greek.
OPSÌA originates from the words and the images of animanimale _ apologia di un genere umano, a book by Ivan Fantini - writer and Andrea Chiesi – painter, published by Barricate. I worked on some words and images to create the choreography. These elements acted on internal forces of my body and they modified its shape.
The space of the performance is defined by Andrea Chiesi’s canvas on the background, also creating new points of view. The audience must be close to the action, as the choreography deals with anatomical movements, such as muscular movements and skeleton postures.
