In a fascinating dialogue between body and memory, Gli anni (The years) reveals the intimacy of memories in a subtle and poignant solo.

Italian artist Marco D'Agostin explores the passage of time in a universe where movements become the messengers of a raw, delicate narrative. Danced “as if in the shadow of a novel”, deeply inspired by the literature of Virginia Woolf and Annie Ernaux, this powerful solo blends fluidity and dislocation: slow gestures are juxtaposed with a nostalgic pop-rock playlist, enigmatic movements emanate from the performer's disarmed body.

Without words, Marta Ciappina's vibrant gestures tell an intimate and universal story, where each movement reveals buried emotions. "Gli anni" is a dance of memories, an emotional journey through the past and present that touches the unspeakable.
