KURTIDOS DANCE COMPANY
“El Ensayo” (2023)

The Kurtidos Dance Company is a collective of mature dancers and former dancers, Spaniards and Italians, whose aim is to bring to the stage, with humour and lightness, the attained artistic maturity in strong contrast to the age of the body. They say: 'We could say that dance is a young art. Instead, we prefer to think that dance is an art that one must be able to handle according to circumstances that include, on the one hand, a human background that is a source of many opportunities, and on the other hand, a mature body. However, there are contradictions, not the least of which is the conflict with one's own body that demands ever greater attention and respect. In addition, there are always disagreements with one's workmates, the love and respect for one's art that becomes extreme and can cause aversion to the stage. All this is then overcome by a kind of fatal attraction to this form of life that we have chosen since childhood'.

BRAIN (2020/21)

BRAIN is a cerebral speculative dance performance in which new scientific disciplines and moral questions are anticipated and negotiated.

How far do we want to open ourselves to the outside and reveal our inner being?
We implant stolen thoughts, sensations and memories into ourselves and we live and savor them as if they were ours.
The body becomes a tool that carries out foreign commands. Appropriating other identities makes us different people and different bodies. Our movement patterns, our bodies and our vision become alien to us.
We are omnipresent. We no longer know who owns our own thought.
How much I is still in me?

FIORI DI GARZA (2019)

The soul of many women, lunar, mysterious, romantic, archaic but also very topical in their challenges and dreams. It is told in verse, choreography, a poetess and a dancer on stage without music or sets or other media, but only the power of the Word and the suggestion of Dance.
The piece was born from the encounter between the poetry and voice of Laura Fusco and the choreography and dance of Cristiana Casadio.

Regie, Texts, Voice: Laura Fusco
Choreography, Dance: Cristiana Casadio
Light design: Mauro Panizza

The work was shown:

Villa della Regina, Torino Italy
Palcoscenico Danza - Lavanderia a Vapore, Torino Italy
