BOLZANODANZA/TANZBOZEN 2025 - Asteroide
Marco D’Agostin
Asteroide
A tribute to musicals between love, extinction, and other cosmic endings. A mysterious paleontologist takes the stage to speak about bones, extinction, and cosmic matter. But something is off: strange personal details slip into his lecture, a gesture becomes oddly choreographic, and the words begin to sound suspiciously like a song. A looming threat approaches, terrifying as the tail of a comet. It’s the musical itself, the most paradoxical and exhausting of all entertainment forms, gradually overtaking the conference to test the performer’s ability to dance and sing his way through the conference. One of the most distinctive voices in Italian choreography, Marco D’Agostin builds a score for body and voice that shifts freely between dance, palaeontology and emotion. Asteroide is a duet between knowledge and spectacle, between science and love, between the impossibility of holding onto anything and the instinct to begin again. With irony and tenderness, D’Agostin reminds us that life, like art, always finds a way to stubbornly avoid extinction.
Performance in Italian with English surtitles.
