MARS is the
third episode of Nicola Galli's choreographic research focused on the solar
system.
Mars is the fourth planet far from
the Sun and the most similar to the Earth, with an incline of its rotation axis
and a day period analogous to the terrestrial one. The Red Planet, rich in iron
oxide, presents a morphology similar to the Earth: the Martian surface is
characterized by valleys, volcanoes, deserts and protected by a minimal
atmosphere with low temperatures on average (-140°C / +20°C).
Starting from this imaginary the
scene becomes a laboratory in which the performer prepares an
"infrared" and "ultraviolet" territory for the action and
enunciates the morphology of the planet through a series of simulations. Geometric
lights and sidereal sounds alternate themselves, composing a strange and artificially
heated space in which the body alone, reveals itself, colonizes and then
evaporates.
MARS in a
long visual wave, presents the most likely destination for the future development
of humanity.
L'opera verrà riadattata ad una versione di 10 minuti.
