La MaMa Spoleto Open
In Unconventional Beauty, scenes alternate in pace and intensity between moments of adherence and submission to a preordained and imposed social structure, allegory and provocation of the contemporary social system, overflowing with paradigmatic beauties, clichés, low ideals, and the desire, to sometimes ancestral and to sometimes conscious, to want to assert one's own nature, naked and raw. But what is man's intimate nature?
to pose the question and to seek the answer are vulnerable, graceful, courageous, very different women who spontaneously seek, even with their eyes closed, freedom: out of the labyrinths the world often imposes. The dancers play, seek each other out, influence each other toward one path and another, to stunned stretches themselves from how often social systems and orders constantly bring them back to conform and homologate. The tale leads them weary and overwhelmed to a dreamlike reality where it is possible to dream of being who one is. But "the mind, lies" and perhaps the only way is imagination, where everything can finally become, an action. Surely a space of one's own, a statement, a "we" achieved by conquering what we are deep in our essence. Beneath the surface. Beyond prejudices and conventions. Because beauty, will save the world.
