What is an autobiography? What are the trajectories that make it possible to cross – in the theatrical time of a performance – a twenty-year artistic production? Which are the real facts, which are the fictional ones? What is true and what is distorted by the memory and the performative condition?
Halfway between a performance and a self-documentary, here the only real data is the artist’s body, obstinately on stage: the body is the only generator of its own vocabulary, of every imagery. An organic storage.
So Giovanna Velardi exhibits herself and her own artistic history through fragments of choreographic compositions that, flowing into a new narration, miss and misrepresent their own meanings.
A tunnel into privacy, into the underground of an authorial memory.
