Veduta>Roma

Veduta>Roma is a modular format with variable cast and length. It’s dedicated to the city of Rome and the perspective view of its urban landscape. The audience attend the performance wearing wireless headphones, while overlooking Mercati di Traiano, a panoramic site chosen for the Fuori Programma festival performance. Near and far spaces are connected by the soundtrack (recorded in Holophonics with a strong cinematic imprint) and the position of the performers. Veduta>Roma is a theorem about landscape, built with a strong cinematic imprint to cross the city and redraw its perspective, transforming reality into a place with imaginary coordinates. The sound turns the urban scene into a place that floats between the present and the possible. The viewers are plunged into a landscape that is no longer made of what is in front of them, but that becomes a whole of coincidences and configurations, a sort of a sacred allegory. Reality is simultaneously blurred and sharpen by the sound, which controls the imaginative power of vision. A place with imaginary coordinates becomes full of multiplied details.
Strange conspiracies and mysterious activities redesign the ‘here and now’ to reread urbanism through postures and signs of a different place that through the sharpness of the dances may be very near or very far, on the horizon. Indoors and outdoors.
Dance is therefore a point of view of the world; it inscribes and affirms the figure in the common space, suggesting an escape at the same time.
