GRACES<\/h1>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_separator color=”black”][vc_empty_space height=”20px”][vc_column_text]GRACES <\/strong>is a project inspired by The Three Graces, a sculpture created by Antonio Canova between 1812 and 1817. The work draws from mythology: Zeus\u2019 three daughters – Euphrosyne, Aglaea and Thalia – radiated splendour, joy and prosperity. Three male figures take the stage in a space and time suspended between the human and the abstract: a place where male and female meet without roles and dance to the rhythm of nature itself. On stage there are three male performers – Siro Guglielmi, Matteo Marchesi, Andrea Rampazzo – together with the author Silvia Gribaudi, who likes to define herself as \u2018author of the body\u2019 because her poetics elevates imperfections to an art form with a direct, cruel and empathetic comic style without any boundaries among dance, theater and performing arts. Over the past ten years, Silvia Gribaudi has been questioning gender stereotypes, female and male identities and the concept of virtuosity in dance and daily life, expanding beyond clich\u00e9s and appearances. Graces was realised thanks to the critical, visual and directorial support of Matteo Maffesanti (director, social theater operator and videomaker) who followed through the entire artistic process with Silvia Gribaudi, with several working phases involving workshops for local people inspired by the choreographic material developed in the project.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith generous humor and radical empathy the Italian choreographer Silvia Gribaudi elevates notions of human imperfections into an art form beyond clich\u00e9s and appearances. Drawn from the sculpture The Three Graces (Antonio Canova 1812-1817) – representing Zeus\u2019 daughters Euphrosyne, Aglaea and Thalia – the three male performers together with Silvia search for new meanings of the word \u2018grace\u2019. With dance and text, but most of all with warmth and lightness, the performance reveals a core of our humanity.\u201d (Annette Van Zwoll, dramaturg)[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\"\"Winner of Danza&Danza 2019 award \u2018italian production of the year\u2019<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\"\"Winning Project of the action CollaborAction#4 2018\/2019<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\"\"Selected by NID Platform 2019<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\"\"Finalist Rete Critica 2019 award (Italy)<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”3118″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css=”.vc_custom_1577109682765{padding-right: 8% !important;padding-left: 8% !important;}”][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
