About
A dance of desire as vertigo: gesture brushes past, veers away, accelerates. Giacomo Casanova moves through the work as an underlying presence—seducer, gambler, strategist of displacement—and gives rise to a physical quality that embraces risk as a mode of existence.
The bodies on stage are fleeting identities, constantly negotiating with space and with sudden misdirections of the gaze.
The choreography becomes a field of tension where the rules are written yet continually reversible.

About
Casanova is an extraordinary figure: libertine, intellectual, traveler, philosopher and above all an enchanter whose name became an icon of seduction.
The choreography works with a quartet of young men focusing on shameless strength and recklessness.
