Aurora is the last part of Alessandro Sciarroni’s trilogy “Will you still love me tomorrow?” that aims to intensify the vulnerability and resilience of bodies. In it’s first part Folk-s Sciarroni explored traditional dance (performance can be seen on 6 September at 20.00), the second part Untitled looked at juggling. This time artist is focusing on sport and more specifically – Goalball, a Paralympic team sport for the blind and visually impaired. The players have only their hearing and touch to rely on. The audience gets to see a real match, but the game-master forces things and thereby disrupts, little by little, the perception of the actors and the audience. By intervening in the sound and lighting, he makes the playing field into a dramaturgical field of tension. Space blurs and time slows. Sciarroni sheds new light on how we look and what we see.
