In a world splintered by borders, a body walks — alone, then with others. From the quiet trace of a footstep to the trembling rhythm of healing dances, movement becomes a thread between times, lands, and lives. A gesture passed on, transformed. Here, heritage is not a relic, but a breath shared. A dance that resists, that mends, that dreams the world anew.
The body is a palimpsest - a text written and rewritten by individual stories, cultural inheritances, pain and joy, learned gestures. It is the very site of memory, but also of invention.
Selected for an artistic residency at Oriente Occidente Studio, Collective/less arrives in Rovereto for two weeks, at the end of which they share the work they have done.
The company is led by choreographer Robin Lamothe who on this occasion collaborates with performers from Botswana belonging to the San community, who will weave their embodied knowledge of traditional dances into the production.
Oriente Occidente dedicates some dance and discussion events to San culture.
