Piergiorgio Milano [Be/It]
site specific creation for beaches and deep waters
Through the collective experience of wonder, the choreography is a reflection on the fragility of coastal and marine ecosystems and our relationship with them.
The protagonist is the sea: as material and as context. The beach, an offended and too often trivialized environment, becomes the theatre: the stage the sea, the backstage the sea bed, the proscenium the shore. It is the sea that remains sacred despite the Anthropocene, a womb to which the performers are drawn, putting into dance their very human nostalgia for a lost harmony. The music finds the sound of the sea on the strings of a viola. The show combines contemporary dance, circus acrobatics, aerial and vertical dance, with solos and choral moments.

Piergiorgio Milano [Be/It]
Choreographer, dancer and acrobat
“My choreographic language is the result of years of research into the encounter between dance, theatre and circus arts. My performances are characterised by a strong theatrical aestheticism on which dance can rely and develop in full freedom of poetry and virtuosity. I am situated on the border between different arts, categories or disciplines; it is in the tendency to go beyond this border that I find the strength that will feed my creative processes. I dedicate myself entirely to this so that my work will be the fruit of this radical contamination between dance, circus and theatre.”
