Teresa in collaboration with Francesco Sgrò. Researching the vocabulary between dance, acrobatics and juggling.
The motivation words are resistance and resilience.
Inspired by the Israeli artist Meira Asher song, Maligora the sand child. This research wishes to touch the themes of gender and personality construction. Questioning the modernistic view of an iron hart built man: strong will and fixed ideals. Maligora the sand child can be seen as a work of surrealism. Revealing a never ending transforming body. Like the sand constructions that the water washes away.
