Out of their proper exotic place (the performance Around the world in 80 days) these pure dances are capable of settling in the Everywhere.
Their focus is on negotiation and evolution from a local condition towards not yet allotted territories. It's a geographical piece, where the reality of movement is developed through a constant work of translation into the surroundings.
So dance becomes the reckoning of every sinuosity on the way.
Space is measured and crossed by choreographic enquiries, querying the landscape through a tormented reconstruction of the 'exotic'. The evaluation of distance is the common denominator of these dances.
Distance between the bodies, distance between cultural patterns; but what looks like distant is always near to something else.
Testing a sort of colonialistic rethoric we found a problematic territory for the negotiation of the differences between the bodies, which aim at building a unique body of conflicting projects.
These are "creolized" dances, sites of interchange. The focus is not on the origin but on destination: how do we accept presence as a continuous settlement into a precarious realm?
Reality can be hired step by step to proceed into the uncertain.
