Aurora Dini

Sola

Aerial hoop, contortion

If the mind forgets, the body remembers everything that passes through it. As the daughter of an anaesthetist, Aurora explores the proximity between the artist's gestures on stage, and those of the surgeon in the operating theatre. Text, contortion and aerial hoop intertwine in a fragmented, intimate, and tragi-comic writing. Sola is a performance-journal, the story of a body discovering itself as a keeper of memories.
