SECRET FIRES
a contemporary dance performance by Artemis Danza celebrating #Pasolini100
Pier Paolo Pasolini’s artistic exploration begins from the body, from his own, lean and athletic, and his hunger for the bodies of others. Through characters, words and images, the author shaped his thoughts into works of art open to different interpretations.
The language of dance, merging body and soul, is a powerful tool to revive the complexity of his thought. In Monica Casadei’s choreography there is the sunshine of Rome’s “borgate” (suburbs), where life pulsates, children play, and the young, dressed in colorful clothes, dream and fight for their rights. In Fuochi Segreti there is warmth in that sunshine, the blue sky and the fresh spring air.
