SEASON
Season is a celebration of pleasure. It plants its roots in the desire to recover an innocence towards pleasure, to treat it intuitively, to make it a game. This celebration requires profusion, abundance, excess. The performers become aware receptacles of sensation, generating a surplus of icons and signs that create a crowded landscape in which pleasure, and the desire for it, can be witnessed and experienced. The signs are themselves containers for emotion, being stripped of their narrative significance they become filled with new associations, they are composed in a pile that keeps on climaxing, indulging in the quality of the too much and in the feeling of nothing is enough. Within this journey there is a claim for exuberance, for the sake of recovering the pleasure towards which we have become so cynical.

Giorgia Nardin
She has participated in numerous EU projects such as e.g. ChoreoRoam Europe, B Project, Performing Gender and Communicating Dance. Her duet All dressed up with nowhere to go was selected for the Aerowaves 2015 “Priority Companies” list. During her K3 residency, she will be exploring the quest for lust and direct physical gratification as exemplified in pornography with its immanent tendency towards selfishness and loneliness. She will be examining the largely predictable structure and patterns of repetition underlying pornography and question the ways in which impressions of lust and satisfaction can be evoked in the spectator. Her goal is not to emulate pornography, but rather reveal its inherent patterns, allow space for questions and associations.
