Closing Party (arrivederci e grazie) – CANCELED
Alessandro Bernardeschi & Mauro Paccagnella {Brussels}
After Happy Hour and El Pueblo Unido Jamás Será Vencido, Alessandro Bernardeschi and Mauro Paccagnella conclude with Closing Party (arrivederci e grazie) the final part of their Trilogy of Memory, a.k.a. the Trilogy of the Fifty-somethings. An ending, a shortness of breath, a completion, or even a new departure. Written by four hands, this last part of the trilogy deepens the themes dear to these artists: the passage of time, social bodies and the dance profession, a farewell waltz, blending intimate souvenirs and the collective memory. Moving and ironic, this glitter-free farewell ball balances between Béjart’s Bolero and the Velvet Underground, black wigs and curious dreams, the Mediterranean and notoriety, trainers and tutus. This delicate and inhabited duo offers us a love song to life and, despite conventions, to the fragile beauty of aging bodies.
