“Andavamo tutti” by Amina Amici in motion, between bodies, memories and poetry.

The first creation residency of “Andavamo tutti”, the new choreographic project by Amina Amici, has come to a close.

Days of listening, crossings, attempts and returns, enriched by the encounter with residents over 65 from RSA Anni Azzurri Cit Turin, who took part in a workshop dedicated to memory, gesture and storytelling.The workshop was carried out within the framework of Luoghi Comuni 2025, with the support of the Italian Ministry of Culture and the City of Turin, as part of the call Circoscrizioni, che spettacolo… dal vivo! 2025, as a concrete extension of the poetic reference that runs through the entire project.

In the poetry of Giancarlo Majorino, the “all” (tutti) is a plural subject that moves through time: a collective in motion, where generations brush against one another and recognise each other. The encounter with the elderly made this “all” a tangible presence — a shared time in which stories sedimented in bodies found listening and resonance.

The project is in fact inspired by Majorino’s poem of the same name, permeated by a choral voice, by a “we” that walks through history, weaving together individual memory and collective memory. It is precisely this “all” that deeply fascinates Amina: a democratic and plural body, made up of people, animals, objects — different presences that harmoniously share a common movement. A non-hierarchical ensemble, in which every existence takes part in the same journey.

A literary reference that is not illustrated, but inhabited, allowing words to become sensitive matter, gesture, and relationship.

The time shared has left traces in space and in bodies: fragile yet necessary materials that are beginning to take shape. The journey continues, carrying with it memories, images and open questions that emerged during this first phase of work.

Amina and her cast of performers — Davide Sportelli, Pierandrea Rosato, Daria Menichetti and Arianna Fabiani — will continue their research throughout 2026.
