Veduta > Roma is a modular format, with a variable cast and duration, dedicated to the city and the prospective vision of the urban scenery. The public receives the performance with headphones, looking out from a panoramic place in the city which for the Fuori Programma Festival is Castel Sant’Angelo. Near and distant places are connected one to the other by the sound track (recorded in holophony with a strong cinematic imprint) and by the dislocation of the performers. Veduta >Roma is a theorem of the landscape, constructed with a strong cinematic imprint so as to travel, through the city and redesign its prospective, transforming reality to a place with imaginary co-ordinates.

The sound turns the urban scene into a place that floats between the present and the possible. The viewers are plunged into a landscape that is no longer made of what is in front of them, but that becomes a whole of coincidences and configurations, a sort of a sacred allegory. Reality is simultaneously blurred and sharpen by the sound, which controls the imaginative power of vision. A place with imaginary coordinates becomes full of multiplied details.
Strange conspiracies and mysterious activities redesign the ‘here and now’ to reread urbanism through postures and signs of a different place that through the sharpness of the dances may be very near or very far, on the horizon. Indoors and outdoors.
Dance is therefore a point of view of the world; it inscribes and affirms the figure in the common space, suggesting an escape at the same time.
