COMMOSSE GEOGRAFIE // CAPITOLO#1 TERRACARNE
+ synopsis
TERRACARNE is a first study resulting from a two-week creative residency held at Dance Gallery in Perugia, marking the initial phase of the broader choreographic project COMMOSSE GEOGRAFIE (Stirred Geographies).
This first chapter of research, led by choreographer Stefano Mazzotta, brings to the stage six female dancers who, at the outset of their thirty years of choreographic activity, passed through the training and residency spaces curated by Valentina Romito and Rita Petrone: Amina Amici, Cecilia Ventriglia, Chiara Michelini, Daria Menichetti, Eleonora Chiocchini, Sara Orselli.
The COMMOSSE GEOGRAFIE project focuses its narrative intent on the themes of time, memory, and the relationship between body, recollection, and landscape, drawing inspiration from philosophical and poetic works such as Gli spazi dell’anima by Lionello Sozzi and The Waste Land by T. S. Eliot.
In this first scenic outcome, the choreographic research centers on the notion of rootedness: what dynamics are activated within the apparent stillness of waiting and remaining; how many and what kinds of metamorphoses pass through us, informing and reshaping both inner and outer landscapes. Within this spatial dichotomy, the body—through its forms—contains and archives within itself, in its fullness and its voids, memories and experiences of passing time.
Dance becomes geography: it grounds its presence in the space and time of memory, multiplies its directions, and interrogates the environment, revealing the illusion of linear time and the supposed predominance of the subject over events. From this immersive process, a delicate, previously unseen world emerges—one that is continually reinvented and relived, resurfacing from silence and inner invisibility.
