Baroque architecture, with its curved and sinuous lines, ellipses, spirals, and motives that interweave so much to be almost indecipherable, are the inspiration for this short film. "Choreography for Impossible Place" is born from the desire to dance in an unattainable place, such as the dome of the Basilica di Superga (TO). This journey between architecture, painting, baroque sculpture, through exploration of the body in space is made possible thanks to the help of the newest digital technologies, which allow us all to experience a world beyond our physical limits.

A woman, a ticket, a strange whirlwind of sensations, loss, resentment and the revelation of the city's signals. Sometimes we find ourselves in situations that carry us and appear to happen by chance. But "case" seems to obey very precise rules, we often ignore. A woman, visiting the Cinema Museum in Turin, finds her shift from wonder to resentment. Like a Stendhal Syndrome that makes her loose all coordinates. She finds herself on the street, the only indication that tells her clearly where to go is a road sign. She decides to trust it and follow the directions to the letter. Following the signs she will find herself climbing on a tram with strange people, which seem to resonate her own actions. Meanwhile, the tram takes its journey until it reaches its terminus, a place on the outskirts of the city, we had traced right from the beginning. A theater, the place of her final destination.

In an aseptic place an androgynous creature traces body trajectories within the void. This creature inspired by Plato's Symposium, is the Demiurge. In its improvisation aimed at giving physicality and materiality to the void in which it dwells, the Demiurge will be the bridge between the world of ideas and the material world. The place where it acts, however, should be considered as an antechamber of the material world, a limbo suspended between inspiration and outcome. Some short interferences offer a glimpse into a real world in which common objects seem to accompany the Demiurge in its materialization process during its search for a substance, size, sound or color. ‘The creation released from the ego and gender transforms the dancing body in a vehicle to something higher, that floats over our heads, like ideas, like Divinity”.

Nowadays, Turin, District of Barriera di Milano. A sullen boy, goes out to the nearest market for shopping. Arrived at destination, he’s overwhelmed by the symphony of the market’s sounds. A bi-univocal communication between body and sounds from the surrounding environment. The market is the orchestra, the body is the interpreter, the stage is urban. Thus an interaction developed by gestures and movements of the interpreter is born. The astonishment and the looks of the people who populate the market are the natural setting of this dialogue, which composes an authentic urban orchestra.

The project is exactly accomplished. Waiting in a specific place. It is to be traced by following crumbs. Waits for each suspended gesture. The sound is still in silence, just before. All in power waiting to be reached. It will be traced, found. Wait will end in an expanded stay. To stay. The abyss between waiting on a chair and being on it. From the broken line of waiting, to the perfect circle of being and staying. A new time may arise, marked by round clockhands. If we could manage to not wait, the body would dilute over time, it would become fluid. We could turn time into a balloon. And that balloon may then become a puppy or a swan. Time and wait. The stay we can just imagine, which turns time in a circle.

A day in autumn PAUSE. Leaves are falling down SAVE. A women is doing her daily stroll STOP. The river is flowing FORWARD. There are people around, who are they? A dog is passing SKIP. RESTART RESTART we can’t see properly DISPLAY. The women is no longer there, ERROR. Let’s start over. The technical language we daily use in software with our computers, often refers to movement (such as: OPEN, MOVE, COPY, STROLL etc). In this short movie we use it in real life as well as to create a video-choreographic script. Through irony and lightness, this short film suggests a reflection on the changes in our habits, gestures, actions under the influence of technological tools. What power has technology on our body, what are the memories we save and why?
