Casa
Cia Gelmini
CASA is a Brazilian dance solo that deals the scene in its relationship with space, time and the present moment through the body memories of the dancer in his maturity.
The dancer, deconstructed by time, finds motives for movement composition that dialogue with the dramaturgy of the ritual experience of the scene and the theater as site specific space.
