Manzoni / Cherchi Milan, Italy / Paris, France
Forgetters

OPEN REHEARSAL
What does it mean to enter the labyrinth of creation?
What happens when desire, necessity, pride and fragility become the shifting weights along the way?
As lost and lonely human beings we forget our being, the other and we are lost in an obsessive labyrinth.
Two bags of bones are left, slammed and impregnated with memories.
The project “Forgetters” is an attempt for a common ‘sound’.

Nicola Manzoni was born in Lecco in 1992. He approached the world of theater at the age of 20 through amateur courses in speech and physical theater. After graduating in Energy Engineering from Politecnico di Milano, he undertook contemporary dance studies at the Paolo Grassi School of Dramatic Art in Milan and at SEAD in Salzburg. Since 2018 he has been working as a dancer and performer for Compagnie Olivier Dubois and since 2020 for Tanzcompany Gervasi; he has also collaborated on several other projects in contemporary dance and video dance and opera. His artistic research investigates the use of the body, sound, light and stage space to seek a medium between imaginary worlds and the eye of the spectator.
