ABOUT THE PIECE

“We cannot fathom the wondrous complexity of an organic being, every living creature must be seen as a microcosm, a tiny universe made up of a multitude of self-propagating organisms, inconceivably tiny and as numerous as the stars in the sky.” Charles Darwin

After a long journey of research and investigation on the notion of time during the last years that resulted in the trilogy of TIME TAKES THE TIME TIME TAKES in 2015, SET OF SETS in 2018 and MADE OF SPACE in 2021, Guy and Maria now reflect and research about natural phenomena as a need to understand the universe around us, reminding ourselves that we are part of the nature, furthermore that “we are nature”.

Inspired by the notion of order disorder, we look into the complexity of self-organizing

systems in nature, seen as a microcosmos, as a tiny universe made up of a multitude of self-propagating organisms. We will reveal ourselves as an invented organism that manifests itself as a resistance to the loss of order and the tendency to chaos, reorganizing itself in a genius and harmonic way.

Like particles that move in extreme perfection and precision, yet random and unpredictable, this piece is the physical output of a research that embodies group behavior where everyone in the system moves and organizes itself as a coherent organism. Employing repetitive and cyclical movement patterns, the group evokes a hypnotic atmosphere that alters our visual perception transforming it into a landscape of living entities.

In this piece for 9 dancers accompanied by the music composition by Coti K, the performers will dig into physical and sound material to materialize, give a consistency to the invented organism and geometric systems. The imperceptible traces that sound and movement leave in space, become here the material to generate multiple imaginaries, polyrhythms, resonances, common and singular trajectories.

Between playfulness and genuineness, control and precision, oscillate the encounters between the dancers where all the elements entail a radical involvement and physical concentration as a process that yearns for perfection without ever reaching it, because it reminds us that the limits of the body are set by the body itself. The extreme physicality, the exhaustion, the order and chaos arecathartic.

As an ode to life and its fragile atmosphere, this is an attempt to reassure our statement as a protest through beauty and harmony as the only way to reconnect to nature and restore balance. We can regain perspective even in the greatest challenges through survival and recognition of the beauty, purpose, and perceptible patterns in the universe and in nature. An attempt to imagine what weare made of, a mass of kinetic possibilities.
