The investigation undertaken regards that which is not clearly outlined‚ that cannot be described. The unfinished. It is a permeable body in its immaturity that’s being investigated‚ a body that denies its limitations‚ whose interactions swiftly mutate‚ whose presence is ambiguous and uncertain.
Inside a ring−container‚ the dancer enacts the many gradations that elapse between the “normal” and the “staged”.
The final result differs according to each performance.
While dealing with the theme of the unfinished‚ Acerbo elaborates an unfinished scenic modality‚ exposing the hidden aspects of her creative process‚ revealing the rules and unmasking the attempts.
MAddAI was founded in Rome in 2000‚ conceived by the choreographer Simona Lobefaro.
The Company has been hosted at many festivals in Italy and abroad: Lavori in pelle‚ Ammutinamenti‚ Danza Urbana‚ Enzimi‚ Danza und Tanz‚ Teatro Palladium‚ Danza da Bruciare‚ La Notte Bianca‚ Caresser Le Potager‚ Venti Ascensionali‚ Kilowatt‚ Frigo‚ Le Banquet‚ CRACK!
