Romance-s

Romance-s draws from the source of the love experience to show a piece whose trajectory travels through the territory of the couple and the territory of dance, both of which are destined to intertwine, transform and question each other.

The plural – clearly detached from the title – proclaims the universal nature of the subject matter: the romance (a Spanish poem in octosyllabic verse, but also a sentimental song of a naive and touching character) evokes the common background to any love story, which reinvents commonplaces with absolute sincerity. More than ever, the piece is intended as a dialogue with the spectator, due to the choreographers’ commitment to this shared field. The plural also induces the multiplicity of types of perception offered by the performance: beyond certain recognizable references, the piece goes beyond mimesis to reach buried sensory zones, like a sleeping memory.
