Répétition d'un envol
« Rehearsal of a launch »

« Mani Marina Blandini and Gaetano Battezzato continue unique research of the body’s musicality.  Each of them has a solid Artistic background, Mani being a sculptor and Gaetano being a videographer.

This assures a particular color in their work.  At the same time dreamlike and applied, their universe leads us to an atmosphere charged with poetry, where the body is pushed to the extreme limit of it possible.

Simultaneously constructed from tension and softness, the dance of the two Italians unfolds like a Gull taking flight (…)

A dialogue of renewal, the elevation from this piece proves the two Choreographers to be among the most actual, curious, surprising creators of the region”.
