DEEP SKY OBJECTS

Part dance piece, part choreographic happening, DEEP SKY OBJECTS is a collective poetic effort to expand the finitude of our bodies by flirting with astronomical distances and loopholes in time. A group of performers surrenders to the felt and imagined forces of an altered field in order to inspect and expose affections, resistances, isolations and solidarities.

Matteo Marziano Graziano is fascinated by the overlaps of quantum sciences with paranormal phenomena. In DEEP SKY OBJECTS, he researches the channeling properties of the body – that is, the body’s capability to trace the subtle information of a space in real time, and make it visible.

The performance of DEEP SKY OBJECTS is built on a network of choreographic scores that are organised in chapters. It is not predicted nor predictable, which performer will embody the scores and the key event of each chapter. Performers need to resolve each chapter before moving on to the next one. Each performance is negotiated in real time through enhanced perceptual activation and vibrational exchange between performers, as well as between performers and audience.
