Paying tribute to Bauhaus, the dancer and choreographer from Ticino, Tiziana Arnaboldi, presents Autour du corps, a work that seeks a force for renewal through the exploration of new visions of the body and space.

She got the idea for the project from observing a photograph in a Bauhaus magazine depicting a cone-shaped object, which is transformed into a costume in the show: a long, four-kilogram skirt formed by nine concentric rings, made of wood, each with a different diameter, invites the two dancers to reprogram the image of their body and their habits in relation to space and to their relationship with each other, creating a new vocabulary and a new quality of movement.
The transformation of the object-skirt becomes a stage setting machine: its continuous movement, consisting of an infinite series of spirals, lines, and points, creates unexpected orientations and trajectories to rediscover the "place" that is inside and outside the human being. Within this space, a dance thus develops and becomes persistent, insistent, and constant; its architecture is deconstructed, articulated around a circular pattern, creating an intensely cosmic effect, a spectacle capable of creating startling, unprecedented figures. The musical composition's powerful rhythm features tonal, sonorous elements that are called into play throughout the entire performance, which is presented as a single whole, with no interruptions.
