Italian term
Grammatica del mimo
Lo scopo è realizzare una trasposizione artistica che segue la grammatica del mimo corporeo astratto di Decroux: attraverso movimenti che non riproducono la quotidianità, ma la evocano per raggiungerne l'essenza, e mediante l'utilizzo del corpo i performer esprimono una riflessione critica su uno dei temi più caldi della società attuale.
The aim is to provide an artistic transposition that follows the grammar of Decroux's abstract body mime: through movements that do not reproduce everyday life, but evoke it to reach their essence, and by the use of the body the performer expresses a critical reflection on one of the most burning issues in society today.
