*Magnificat* is a choreographic research project dedicated to the Marian figure on the night of the Annunciation. A poetic and embodied journey through the suspended moment in which a young woman confronts the irruption of the unknown, the mystery of transformation, and the vertigo of an unexpected destiny.

Through an essential and intimate scenic language, the project questions the body as a place of listening, waiting, and welcoming the invisible.

  • The project takes shape around the figure of Mary, observed not as a distant religious icon, but as a profoundly human presence traversed by doubt, fragility, fear, and the possibility of transformation.

    The night of the Annunciation becomes the symbolic center of the research: a suspended moment in which everyday life is suddenly fractured by the arrival of something uncontainable and unrepresentable. Magnificat focuses precisely on this fragile threshold between the human and the mysterious, between silence and revelation.

    The scenic imagery engages with themes of waiting, listening, and openness to the unknown. The female body is observed as a space of passage and mutation, a place where vulnerability, wonder, disorientation, and generative strength coexist.

    The research constructs a poetic landscape shaped by subtraction, light, and proximity, allowing a dimension suspended between domestic intimacy and spiritual tension to emerge. The sacred is not approached as religious representation, but as a deeply human experience of transformation.

  • Magnificat develops through a research process oriented toward the essentiality of gesture and the construction of an intense and intimate scenic presence.

    The creative process intertwines dance, listening, and the composition of bodily images capable of evoking states of suspension, waiting, and inner transformation. The choreographic writing works on the fragility of movement, the relationship with silence, and the possibility of making visible what normally remains unseen.

    The research privileges proximity and delicacy, creating a direct relationship between performer and audience. Over time, the project continues to question transformation as a profoundly embodied and universal experience.

Amina Amici incarna lo smarrimento, i dubbi, gli incubi, il dolore di Maria con movimenti del corpo spezzati, alla ricerca di linee, forme, espressioni che ne ritraggano la solitaria ricerca di un senso. Meravigliosa la sequenza concitata del sonno disturbato, in cui Amina-Maria cerca disperatamente e invano una posizione che le possa restituire la quiete dell’innocenza. Lo sguardo dell’interprete è quanto mai espressivo ed eloquente. (Francesca Maria Rizzotti | KLP)
