Ugo

Ugo

Dance performance and installation - 2007 - 40 minutes 


Ugo is a project aimed at stimulating the audience’s perception through a combination of dance, drawing, music and text. The artists have brought together four different artistic mediums, each stamped with the distinctive character of its maker, to ask the audience to find the links they have worked on creating. Ugo is an open invitation to the audience’s senses and, particularly, to its interpretation. Ugo is not being performed on a stage or in a typical theatre space. The audience is guided into the space by a structure of drawings placed on the floor while the dancer performs a structured improvisation based on physical qualities exploring perception of space and linking rhythmically and energetically to the pre-recorded text and music. The text features a simple narrative but also fuses with the sound design to function as pure sound.
