Dances on the threshold mark the space, forms of understanding and empathy that explode between Dionysian and Apollonian. In Satyrs, the study of movement subtracts from the everyday those postures that then return in the form of another language: not form in movement, but body that transcends and – like an auratic nebula – blurs between distance and proximity and operates according to a
spatial tactility that encompasses us. ‘A dance for dermatoglyphs
that trace the air – states choreographer Virgilio Sieni – and a
syntax that seems to refer to the embryo of the gesture that meets its its similar by recognising it as different and friend’.
