A POSTO
Created in 2011 - Torinodanza festival (Italy)
In A Posto, birds sing while three young women lie in the sun in the countryside, enjoying the moment and their picnic. They come on and off stage, gaze at the room in search of a body, a silhouette, an object. Everything seems to escape them, from their own gestures to objects which evade their grasp and roll away. This charming, fresh, and bucolic scene constantly shifts between fiction and reality to create a light, fluid, and funny ballet which surreptitiously becomes stranger and stranger. Insects start biting, the trio slowly falls to pieces, and everything slides into the absurd. With these whimsical summer games infused with dark humour, Ambra Senatore builds a choreographic puzzle which reveals hints and instructions, but never a clear answer.
