Sexy movers is a reflection on the essay A general theory of love by Thomas Lewis, M.D. Fari Amini, Richard Lannon, M.D.
The focus is the meeting with the other, a meeting that explores the moment in which two persons come into contact, the moment which gives a start to a transformation process. Imagine to expand this moment, to stretch time and observe the vibrations, moods and dynamics that precede the match.
What happens when we get close to someone?
What happens when our eyes meet someone’s eyes? How do we change according to the match?
Sexy movers wants to be a transformation process, in which bodies store experiences and use them as a strategy to communicate with each other
They’re both convinced
that a sudden passion joined them.
Such certainty is beautiful
but uncertainty is more beautiful still [..]
There were signs and signals
even if they couldn’t read them yet.
Perhaps three years ago
or just last Tuesday [..]
Love at First Sight
Wislawa Szymborska

LAND is a performance that uses a carpet to determine the action focusing the gaze towards a precise and clear dimension, which over time can open up to the surrounding landscape. A common horizon in which people are invited to act. The interest is in how external informations are absorbed and integrated in performer’s inner dimension. The carpet looks like a place of choice and acts as a membrane between the dancer's body and the outside. In this forcibly solitary space, the dancer has to build a code of gestures and gazes that over time allows the performer to define a network of real or imaginary relationships. The practice is conceived as an ongoing learning process that allows to locate the viewers and the performer in a common ground of interaction. LAND is an immersion into a delicate intimacy that makes its way through the folds of the body.

CONCEPT (IT)
JEPLANE è spinto dal desiderio di ricostruire le dinamiche che si scatenano davanti a un paesaggio.
L’orizzonte, l’appiattimento del mondo in una linea, il sentimento del futuro. Le proprietà specifiche di questo territorio sono instabilità e iridescenza. Vedere un orizzonte insieme è gettare gli occhi altrove, permettendosi di dire cose mai pensate, forse di non dire nulla.
In un set delicatamente artificiale che richiama un’ambientazione intima, Aurelio getta il corpo all'interno di architetture immaginate che provengono dalla propria interiorità preparandosi a costruire uno sguardo limpido, complesso e umido di storia.
JEPLANE si presenta a tutti gli effetti come il luogo dei legami impossibili, invisibili, interrotti.
"Per questa occasione ho trovato degli occhi nuovi"
CONCEPT (EN)
JEPLANE was born from the desire to reconstruct the dynamics that are unleashed in front of a landscape: the horizon, the flattening of the world into a line, the feeling of the future.
The specific properties of this territory are instability and iridescence. 'otherwise is to cast your eyes elsewhere, allowing yourself to say and to think things you never thought about, perhaps not to say anything. In a delicately artificial set that seems an intimate setting, Aurelio throws his body into imagined architectures that come from his own interior, preparing to build a clear, complex and humid gaze. JEPLANE appears as the place of impossible, invisible, interrupted bonds.
"For this occasion I found new eyes”
