BELLO!

By Cordata F.O.R

NOBODY HAS POWER OVER BEAUTY. BEAUTY IS SOMETHING DISTURBING THAT PIERCES US, THAT SHAKES US. BEAUTY DOES NOT CONFORM.

Bello! is a performance for the stage. It brings together on stage six virtuoso circ artists from different backgrounds and a very agile actor, carefully chosen for their mutual ability to listen to and understand each other. Group dynamics are at the heart of the project.

Bello! questions the relativity of the historical forms of beauty, tyrannical in Italy, and the universality of our need for judgement. The universe is strange, very physical. No numbers, no apparatus. But a constant search for flight.

A show where acrobats and actors break physical and mental conventions on beauty, going beyond stereotypes and their own limits in a collective and continuous scenic movement.

Open to all forms of contamination, it makes the chorality of acrobatic gestures and words its poetics. Bello! is a show about the power of wonder and the power of an alert circus, always on the lookout, which subordinates aesthetics to ethics and relentlessly seeks new forms of expression.
