My fourth solo Alma‚ starting from a poem by Pablo Neruda‚ Neruda touches strong feelings as love‚ loneliness and sense of death.
Alma‚which in castilian means “soul ”‚ includes in its sound: dawn‚ animal‚ arms‚ Karma‚ calmness‚ anger‚ larva‚ tear‚ moan‚ far‚ …
“I am the sparrow sleeping on your soul…”
The work is about the contrast and the opposite living in us‚ the desire to react to this inexorable condition.
Other poems by Pablo Neruda‚ Cesare Pavese‚ aphorisms and enchantments by Alda Merini are included.
In certain moments incidental musics amalgamate with dancing and talking. Authors are: De Andrè‚ King Krimson‚ Death in Vegas‚ John Oswald.
Although in my performances the evocative element is very important‚ the audience is constantely encouraged to build its own route‚ and to always recognize something about its own life experiences. When they ask me what sort of dance is mine‚ my answer is always detailed and anyhow ends with the invitation to come and see‚ hear‚ perceive the event in its whole‚ because it is closer to a nature walking experience‚ in the act of loving either then comprehension of an abstract concept bounded to a mental reasoning. The moving poetic theatre is something that can go along with what I try to do on stage.

Giorgio Rossi

E’ un’Alma ballerina, va dove la porta il gesto, una musica, il verso del poeta (…) Giorgio è una sorta di Fregoli dello Spirito, cambia in continuazione abiti e anima.
