A WOMB FOR AN ADULT

“A Womb for an Adult” is a dance performance, where the main focus is drawn to re-creating a body and a space: a body in space, but also space as a body generating a particular sensation. The stage setting is thought of as a space deriving its meaning from two places that are inherently interconnected: a construction site and a playground. The piece is proposing an extensive panorama permeated with bodies and objects through which the performers are exploring a visual dramaturgy of a playground. While interacting with objects that inhabit the space and are conceptually divided into tools and toys, the performers challenge the act of laboring and transform it into an act of playing. As a consequence of the movement, polymorphic relationships are appearing from which a variety of different sounds are produced.
