BEST REGARDS

I met and worked with Nigel Charnock in 2010. This encounter marked a clear line in my way of thinking about performance. After him, the possibility of dancing is for me the possibility that everything on stage can happen, simultaneously.BEST REGARDS is not a tribute, but for sure a salutation. It’s my way of saying “Dear N, I wanted to be too much too”. It’s voracious solo, a letter addressed to someone that will never reply. A work about rage, that specific one of first love: love that existed before dance became a job. Before projects, before meaningfulness, before unity. Love of being on stage, sweaty and livid, singing and dancing. An act of desperate nostalgia – not for the world as it was, but for the world as it appeared to me.
