A performance that questions stereotypes and expectations with humour, joy and tenderness.
With generous humour and radical empathy, the Italian choreographer Silvia Gribaudi elevates ideas of human imperfections to an artform, beyond the expected or the cliché.
For more than a decade, Gribaudi has been questioning gender stereotypes and the concept of virtuosity in dance and daily life, blending the boundaries of dance, theatre and performing arts. With Graces, she creates a space suspended between the human and abstract; a place where male and female meet, without roles, and can dance to the rhythm of nature itself.
In this work inspired by mythology and The Three Graces – a sculpture representing Zeus’ daughters Euphrosyne, Aglaea and Thalia who radiated splendour, joy and prosperity – the three male performers together with Gribaudi search for new meanings of the word ‘grace’.
With warmth and lightness, this dance performance reveals a vital and welcome core of our humanity.
