There are no things, there are relationships. The Space traveled and to be traveled undulates, wanders without order; bodies rest on it cradled by the earth’s rotation that revolves around the sun, that navigates the galaxy, that sucks itself into the nearest black eye or into the one that has not yet appeared. We like to think of YTTKKIY as a game of getting lost, chasing trajectories defined or managed by chance. The body endlessly returns to its precious limits and discovers nothing. Alone it is alive, capable of breathing, walking, rolling, chasing itself, giving itself an order together with others and then melt away aimlessly. A relationship among relationships: bodies and trees, bodies and grass, bodies and stones, bodies and lines, bodies and river, bodies and concrete, bodies and bodies, bodies and snakes, bodies and butterflies, bodies and horses, bodies and skies, bodies and paths, bodies and bees. Without beginning nor end except that which binds the discovery of a decision. That of each one to stay.
Proxemics:
– parallel trajectory, crosses what it encounters
– body stretched towards the distant horizon, dialectical proximity
– the distance doesn’t care about the gaze, it solves issues bypassing them – hiding in tall grass
– chasing each other like wild boys
– sweat, drink and sweat again
– the body demands, it does not make any exceptions
Kinkaleri was founded in 1995 in Florence, Italy. Kinkaleri operates between performance, experimental theatre, movement research, visual productions, sound materials and installations, “looking for a language not on the basis of a style but directly in the evidence of an object”. In the span of twenty years, the group’s interdisciplinary and dynamic nature has consolidated a unique creative line with recognition of excellence in the scene of contemporary performing arts in Italy and abroad. The works of the company has been shown in theatres, contemporary art museums, dance and theatre festivals, galleries. Among recent creations: INFERNO (2021), OtellO (2020-21), Once More (2020), OTTO (2003/2018). The group has published the books All for All! (bruno, 2018) and Kinkaleri. La scena esausta (Ubulibri, 2008), and released the LP ONCE MORE with Jacopo Benassi (Xing, 2021). Since 2001 Kinkaleri has its headquarters in Prato at spazioK, where presented the two series of events on performance and dance is it my world? and Body To Be.
