The new creation by Mauro Bigonzetti for MM Contemporary Dance Company is intended as a tribute, a choral story, a full-fledged portrait of the Eighties, a decade that has now lost its temporal boundaries to become a symbol of an era.
A narration through musical images that recovers the sensations of a generation, its erased euphories, the collective nonsense, its dreams thrown into the sea, but which at the same time also rediscovers the lifestyle of those years, the scents of its vitality and the dense experimental artistic creativity that characterized a rapidly evolving society, which was gradually transforming itself in step with the impulses of sharing and the anxiety of change.
A work set up without artifice, interpreted by the eight dancers of the MMCDC and sewn on a musical dramaturgy structured on the tensions and visions of those years. A piece that draws on various authors protagonists of that period, from Prince to the anarchic genius of Frank Zappa, to the profound poetry of Leonard Cohen, up to the punk and existential aesthetics of the group CCCP.
Through an abstract narrative, the choreographic score gives life to a space of memory and feeling where the man, by stripping off his shell and the armor that accompanies him, finds his body alive and vulnerable.
A journey that leads us to discover pain, love, abandonment and rebirth. A symbolic journey in the relentless search for a new collective rebirth where beauty enriches and guides our path.
