Peru - Simona Bertozzi at Indisciplinados Festival
Simona Bertozzi / Nexus dance company is in Peru at the fifth edition of INDISCIPLINADOS - Festival Internacional de prácticas escénicas contemporáneas de Lima, taking place in different places from October 21st to 30th.
Choreographer and dancer also engaged in educational and training activities, Simona Bertozzi presents three performances and leads two workshops.
Site specific impro, performed by Bertozzi and dancer Stefania Tansini, is an “action” of her pluriannual project Wonder(L)and, a “container of practices” aimed at the research on dance.
Flow on River, with choreography by Simona Bertozzi and Stefania Tansini on stage, is a work in which the dancer’s gestures are immersions, snaps, and thickenings, moved not by the desire of mutation but of expansion.
Anatomy, with choreography by Simona Bertozzi, also dancer, and live electronics by Francesco Giomi, is the meeting of two bodies: biology and sound. It’s the diagram of their lines of strength, trajectories, and dislocations, tears in space and form where time plays out.
In 2019 Simona Bertozzi was awarded with the Premio Hystrio ‘Corpo a Corpo’ for her «artistic and research path, characterized by accuracy and radicalness», for being «an open, eclectic artist, (…) able to nourish and contaminate her creation with a wide range of disciplines and addresses».
The company’s tour is supported by Emilia-Romagna Region Culture Dept and Italian Cultural Institute in Lima.
