SIMPOSIO
Duet created and danced by
Lia Claudia Latini and Giovanni Leonarduzzi
Description
From Plato’s story to the present day, a continuous tension in search of the total, unique, complete body. From the “hermaphrodites” narrated in Aristophanes’ speech, supernatural figures, in strength and shape, to the divided body that we have.
The attempt at reunion, the tension towards completeness, the relationship never completely “satisfied” because it is now impossible to go back to being a “single body”.
A perennial desire for reunion, a desire that animates and moves bodies.
From Plato’s specific story to the analysis of current society and the dynamics of the relationships it contains: the difficulty of finding, maintaining and cultivating a relationship as a couple in a society that pushes towards ever stronger individualism and which leads to less acceptance of the couple’s “compromise”.
From here our moving figures are born where the two bodies, added together, create a larger one.
