Duo D’Eden / Grosse Fugue / Weirdo

Certainly! Here is the translated text:

**DUO D’EDEN**

"Two bodies, seemingly naked, move forward on stage, clinging to one another and never letting go. A man and a woman with bodies drawn to each other, intertwining, joined together until they become inseparable. She, a vine wrapping and twisting around. He holding, retaining, supporting her. There is something mythical in their dance, in this total fusion of two beings who become one, never to separate again. Eden is the original love, that of times of innocence. There is also something raw and primal in this duo. The images of the sounds of waterfalls and thunderstorms that compose the sound of the dance. Eden is a dance full of strength and beauty, perhaps due to the natural essence that emanates from the movement of purity and the precision of gesture, from the almost plastic figures, from the power of the bodies. It is from here that emotion arises. From this sobriety that reveals the essential. If love is a dance, it is surely Eden." — Yasmine Tigoe

**GROSSE FUGUE**

"Four women and an extraordinary musical piece like Die Grosse Fuge: Maguy Marin’s personal interpretation of the work of Ludwig van Beethoven, considered a milestone in the relationship between classical music and contemporary dance, is based on a constant, intimate dialogue between dance and music, on a deep connection between the two arts. Created in 2001 for C.ie Maguy Marin, it is reprised in the interpretation of four dancers from the MM Contemporary Dance Company: from the meeting between the four women and the music, a complexity emerges between the growing vital force of the female being and the state of enthusiasm and despair of this score. The dance becomes an euphoric explosion of energy, where the four performers, dressed in red, in an almost frenetic alternation, jump, run, collapse, rise again in a vital and frenetic whirlwind. A metaphor of life that becomes a whirlwind and an exciting race against death, where the dizziness of the end itself leads us to always want to run breathlessly, to live every moment as if it were the last instant."

**WEIRDO**

"The sense of inadequacy: the only true obstacle in any form of relationship, including the one with oneself. Who, in their life, has never been overwhelmed by it? That particular feeling of being out of place, different, sometimes wrong, judged, and often also misunderstood. One may feel as if immersed in fog, or as if there is a veil or a glass wall between oneself and the surrounding world. Often this state stems from the desire to meet others’ expectations. Feeling the enormous weight of risk, the fear of failing and being judged, perceiving oneself as an incompetent, an imposter, a disappointment. Starting from these feelings, Enrico Morelli presents a piece that aims to bring this state of alienation to the stage, drawing inspiration not only from his own personal experience but also from that of the performers."
