In this new project, Vanishing Place, Luna’s intention is to dig deeper in the practice of hiding and reveal, experimenting the use of objects such panels and start a chromatic research. Manipulating this setting, the performers will also move/manipolate the space. Working mainly with nudity and experimenting new postures/architectures of the body, Luna’ works departs from a very clear statement. The nudity is assumed as a natural condition of the bodies and is a compositional necessity, legitimized by the specific choreographic-writing practice that the author conducts. Luna emphasizes the single parts of the bodies, elaborates the architectures putting them in dialogue with the surrounding space, turns the postures upside down and orchestrates the spatial disposition. The idea is always to start from a movement practice that creates space and emptiness in the performer and explore the quality of the ‘adagio’ to let the performer disappear and the gestures of the body, the space and the architectural elements of the music emerge. On the stage landscapes of bodies are generated but it is also the sigle body to be a landscape itself. There is a constant metamorphosis happening that puts the viewer into an active position of observation and interpretation of what he/she is witnessing as Luna works on multiple levels of interpretation and meanings, giving very much importance to the concept of ‘collective memory’.

“Luna Cenere continua la sua ricerca sul corpo, la postura, l’oggetto e il gesto, mettendoli in sorprendente dialogo tra loro. Vanishing Place, la sua nuova ‘installazione’ coreografica, spinge questa conversazione in una direzione fresca e inaspettata, indagando che cosa significhi danzare e che cosa la danza possa diventare in futuro. È un progetto minimalista, capace di sollevare numerose domande e in quanto tale capace anche di offrire un forte contrasto con le esperienze guidate da dinamiche maggiormente cinetiche presentate alla Biennale Danza”.
