The result of the performance presented at Castel San Pietro as part of the second edition of Lugano Dance Project, Panoramic Banana is the new production by mk, one of the most interesting companies on the international art scene: a kaleidoscope of dances and images immersed in a hybrid soundscape.

Award-winning choreographer Michele Di Stefano brings to the stage a proliferation of choreographic systems that evoke a new folklore, imaginary and projected towards a world to come, where disorder is the rule, the environment becomes murky and pulsating, and the desire for rewilding can finally flow undisturbed.
There is no place for the exotic: it is pure representation. But it is precisely this abstract emptiness that can transform itself into a real space, a container to be reinterpreted. Panoramic Banana is a collection of sounds, dances and images arranged like a catalogue, alluding to a history of conquests and abuses, consumed in a resort on the edge of the world. An evoked environment based on a single savage principle: mixture, proximity, the incomprehensible euphoria of a pact between executioners and victims.
While ethnologists are reconverting to study the last remaining stainless tribe – the tourist tribe – and anthropologists are taking refuge in the analysis of TV series, wild thinking is forgotten by entertainment but proliferates undisturbed in the mist. There is no proclamation of redemption, and for this very reason it is absolutely crucial for the future of humanity: a future that is loud, aquatic, tropical, 40 degrees in the shade, epidemic, balsamic, anatomical and humid.
