Alessandro Sciarroni

UNTITLED_
I will be there when you die

The Italian choreographer and performer Alessandro Sciarroni spent three years (2012-2014) working on Will you still love me tomorrow?, exploring choreographically issues including fatigue, persistence and endurance using a range of aesthetic approaches. Untitled_I will be there when you die is the second part of his choreographic trilogy and a study of the passage of time. Underpinned by a visual rhythm, the work has its dancers throw themselves into endless juggling and movement motifs which the audience perceives as perpetual motion.
The choreography sets out to subvert the stereotypes that surround the art of circus and to provide a space in which this art can be explored as an idiom. Practice, rules, discipline, dedication, focus are the fundamental elements of a piece which forces its performers to remain firmly in the moment, unable to look back even fleetingly at any time past.

 On 20.6, the performance will be followed by discussion with the audience.
