Gush is Great
by Production Xx (France)
17:00 – Teatro Comunale Giuseppe Verdi Gorizia
In a suspended state, a front line advances inexorably, creating a dystopian space.
Absurdly, objects escape almost unnoticed, like vestiges or traces of our passage on earth. It’s an ode to slowness and simplicity in the face of generational anxieties.
Slowness was a genuine, almost political choice: to relearn how to stretch time, to fight against the rapidity of our relationships with things and people, choosing sobriety, to make movement full and simple, without emphasis.
This piece tackles the great tragedy of the century: the churning of air.
Biography:
In 2023, the second edition of De l’impertinence, an artistic and cultural laboratory in Sète (France), brought together artists from different backgrounds, from the Paris Opera Ballet to Conservatoires Supérieurs de Danse in France, contemporary dance schools such as P.A.R.T.S and the Roubaix CCN, to training programmes like CobosMika’s Seeds (Palamòs, Catalonia) and Coline in Istres (France). These artists do not define themselves as a collective but rather form an ecosystem, where some participate in each other’s projects while also creating a space for support, collaboration, and creativity.
