Silvia Gribaudi’s work questions the social impact of bodies and gender stereotypes, with the comic element and the relationship between audience and performers at the centre of her choreographic language. In Graces’ playful choreography, the human and the abstract, the feminine and the masculine collide, and ideas about human imperfections are elevated to an art form beyond clichés.
Duration: 60 minutes
The award-winning Italian choreographer Silvia Gribaudi started her tour in our region early September with a performance at Front@, days of contemporary dance in Prekmurje. After her performance at the Španski borci, where En–Knap invited her in collaboration with Kino Šiška, she continues her journey to the partner institution of the Pan-Adria network, the HKD in Rijeka (HR).
