Giorgia Lolli Reggio Emilia
BODY SWEATS (for Elsa)
“BODY SWEATS (for Elsa)” is a tribute to Baroness Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven (1874-1927), a poet and avant-garde artist who was a pioneer of the Dada movement. The title is taken from her eponymous collection of poems, an erotic and proto-punk manifesto. Dance, lecture performance, poetry reading, workout: sweat will be a way to explore the intertwining of effort and pleasure, binding together a heterogeneous collage of dance and textual materials. Love letters between friends and lovers. Waterless aqua aerobics in tiger-striped leotards. A poem for the Baroness. A split, in her honour. Dada(umpa).
