An intensely physical and sonic dance experience of friction, tension, and underground currents.
L.A.V.A. is an intensely physical and sonic journey through a landscape of tension, friction and underground currents. Two leading voices in European dance, Emio Greco and Pieter C. Scholten from Amsterdam and Roberto Zappalà from Catania, Sicily, bring their choreographic worlds together in an international co-production of contrasts and force. Not a double bill, not a fusion, but a confrontation — a field of tension where difference sparks new movement.
The dance moves like lava: layered and unpredictable. Bodies collide, pulse, harden and break open again. The music is an autonomous force: assertive and independent. A sonic field of rhythmic tension and seismic vibration that challenges, supports and counteracts the choreography. L.A.V.A. shows how intensity emerges from difference. Not through harmony, but through friction. Not through distance, but through proximity. The audience finds itself at the heart of this eruption of movement and sound.
L.A.V.A. will premiere on Friday, July 3 at Julidans in Meervaart, Amsterdam.
