Storia di un ruscello

Erica Meucci (IT)

Dance
Duration: 30 minutes 

Walk in the woods

In collaboration with MAGGIORE DANZA

Storia di un ruscello is a story told through images, a dance written for a performer and a stone. In Erica Meucci’s debut project as author, the work draws inspiration from the ecological ideas of anarchist geographer Élisée Reclus who’s stating that reconnecting with other living beings requires recognizing our own vulnerability and exposure to danger –liberating ourselves from the notion of domination and instead engaging with the environments we pass through, allowing ourselves to be shaped by them. Reclus’ philosophy intertwines with a real event: the loss of an animal in the woods and its eventual discovery in the waters of a waterfall. The image of its suspended body, caressed by the flowing waters, and the time that seems to dilate without boundaries imprint themselves on the dancer’s body, oscillating between spatial and acoustic voids and solids, between the solidity of the stone and the transience of the watercourse. Throughout the performance, the dancer moves upon the stone without ever stepping off. This constraint forces the body to continuously rewrite its own geography and equilibrium, heightening its sensitivity to even the slightest changes. The figure stands out in the landscape and experiences the scene as a place of great vulnerability.
