PRIMA is a laboratory, a participatory dance performance and a discussion all in one.
Taking a radical turn from the concept of choreography as a finite composition, PRIMA is a dancework which liberates movement, fosters variability and unfolds anew each time we look at it: right here, right now. In today's age of mutual separation, PRIMA offers a way to reach out to the unknown and connect. It is an equation, a horizontal game in which shared rhythm and individual gestures become the common denominator of change.
PRIMA is a richly layered dance performance where experience of life and expressivity of art meet in one single electrifying moment. Emerging from the silence, the soundtrack is modest: the pulse of one’s own breath, the resonance of their steps, the friction of their hands. In Italian, prima stands for a premiere. For the group of people who - in the course of three days of
rehearsal - create a unique community, each performance is the first one, always the premiere.
