VINCERE! VINCERE! VINCERE? Demolishing, destroying, asphalting, break down have become commonly used terms, with an exquisite positive meaning, but what remains of Man? VINCERE! VINCERE! VINCERE? investigates the theme of victory by taking as a reference the changes in common language and the frantic need of the Human Being to excel. In the choreographic action, the game of bodies arises from a spatial compositional criterion, developed starting from a constraint, that is, a delimited space that becomes an element to be exploited and translated into lines, directions and figures on which the choreography moves. Static phases alternate with dynamic phases, openings and compressions that give support and space to the emotional story. What is victory if it sweeps away the dignity or meaning of the human being with a single gesture? It is a conquest, of course, a piece to be added to the personal collection of medals, but without respect, empathy, value and understanding of the opponent, it simply transforms into careerism, into a violent and reckless form of ego, in a distorted and centralizing assessment of life itself.
VINCERE! VINCERE! VINCERE?

FONDERIE LIMONE Via Pastrengo, 88 MoncalieriS DANCE COMPANY was born in March 2016, as Project S from the idea of the choreographer Mario Coccetti and is composed of the dancers Rocco Suma and Salvatore Sciancalepore. Artistic creation, narration, technique, empathy with the public and social messages are the strengths of this project which explores the theme of identity declined in all its meanings, placing the accent on the value it assumes today and on a self-referential and globalized society. From this production process a trilogy was born divided into three chapters: Border, SIN and Melancholia – first studio. At the same time, the company opened to a more experimental phase with the work Undertaker Blues that combines choreographic styles, musical sounds and cinematographic language with the technique of contemporary dance.
S DANCE COMPANY is supported by Teatro Comunale of Copparo, Teatro Due Mondi, Teatri di Vita, ITC Teatro, Cantieri Culturali Creativi, De Micheli Danza Festival, Hangartfest.
