Between the Seas Presents: E.sperimenti Dance Company’s PER…INCISO and Nadra Assaf/Rain Ross—Influx
E.sperimenti Dance Company’s PER…INCISO
Italy
Italian songs of the ’60s and ’90s are the protagonists in this sparkling, entertaining work by one of Italy’s most up and coming companies. From Modugno to Sinatra, from De Andrè to Gaber, from Capossela to Jovanotti, the seven dancers of Esperimenti bring together, using irony and humor, different generations with sometimes similar experiences and emotions.
The company uses its signature style of combining a variety of genres—hip hop, contemporary, etc—to reconcile young and old, tradition and innovation, with a new, personal, dramaturgical language, lightweight and profound at the same time.
