ABOUT
artistic statement
We live in a hyper-digitalised society and I have a very conflictual relationship with technology.
In my works I am in fact interested in ivestigating the social-political-relational implications in the human-technology relationship.
Today, a large percentage of contemporary dance production uses technological tools. We see many works with an attractive, hyper-digital aesthetic. I share the widespread need to respond also with art to the incessant technological evolution, but I believe that often dance, when placed side by side with technology, loses its authenticity and independence, becoming a subordinate element. My works search for authenticity of the body and the performer.I search for emotions without illusions.
What then is my artistic responsibility in this hyper-digitalised society? Does my dance really need to experiment hand in hand with new technologies in order to impress the audience? Are new languages and original aesthetics really emerging or are we still dealing with a mere optimisation of what dance has already been experimenting with for many years?
This is where my choreographic research begins in an ongoing love-hate relationship with technology applied to contemporary dance creation.
