Winner of the Danza Urbana XL 2024 call – Anticorpi XL Network
A girl in rollerblades is broadcasting her training live on social media. Then, the noise of gunshots enters the performing space. She starts falling. Her body gets hurt.
The square turns into the stage for an act of physical and existential endurance: a representation of the tragic nature of life in its forced and banal repetitiveness.
