InCorpore(O) and Inretita are established pieces created in collaboration with writer and biologist Daniele Derossi. Involo is a new work which will premiere at the Coronet Theatre choreographed for dancer Nina Khokham. The evening takes place over two spaces, the Main Auditorium and The Print Room Studio, and audiences will move between them during the performance. INCORPORE(O) Creators & Performers: Luigia Riva and Daniele Derossi Incorpore(o) is a performance installation exploring anatomy and our relationship to the body. Blending the grotesque and the clinical, this duet employs a haunting soundscape and material organs to transform our studio space. Music is by Samon Takahashi. Running time: 20 minutes INVOLO Choreography: Luigia Riva Dancer: Nina Khoman Involo is an epic solo dance piece created for Nina Khoman performed in our theatre space. Redefining the mythology of the swan in ballet, this performance challenges antiquated ideas of womens’ fragility and passivity. Trapped in a white film, pointe shoes attached to hands and feet, Khoman becomes a contemporary swan as she frees herself from this societal cage in order to fly on freer terms. Music is by Sébastien Petit Running time: 2O minutes INRETITA Creators and performers: Luigia Riva and Daniele Derossi Inretita is a movement piece staged by Riva and Derossi with eight amateur male performers. Presented as a special promenade performance in the studio, Inretita interrogates the patriarchal desire to control women’s bodies. Riva is bound in red rope by the male performers who constrain her movement and act as puppeteers, as she fights to navigate the space. Music is by Sébastien Petit Running time: 19 minutes Age Recommendation: 14+
