Grazia Capri presents Per Voce Sola, an intense performance about the relationship between body and space, and more. Grazia explores the feelings and emotions of the human in a captive condition. You start by being introduced in the space where the set will be already occupied by the performer. And wait! The silence will introduce you to an intimate and surreal dimension, in a deep connection with Grazia for thirty minutes. After the performance, the audience is invited to stay for an informal interaction with the artist.
Per Voce Sola is small islands, spaces of freedom, and unique angles of surreal shelter where time is forgotten. Here, however, our physical and psychological limits are challenged at every moment. Then, the body becomes the screen and the link between the space and the performer. Capri will explore and realize her intentions with the physical and real reduction of space. A constriction, a limitation of freedom that leads body and mind either to adapt to this new condition or to annihilation. The body is the contact point between us and reality.
Partnerships: Space @ Clarence Mews, London. Les Laboratoires d'Aubervilliers, Paris.
