Camilla Monga, Emanuele Maniscalco | SULL’ATTIMO

with Chiara Montalbani, Camilla Monga, Stefano Roveda, Francesco Saverio Cavaliere
concept and choreography by Camilla Monga
music by Emanuele Maniscalco

On the Moment offers an unprecedented and challenging approach to performance and improvisation that form the dramaturgical basis for a perusal of time. The project is created by choreographer Camilla Monga and multi-instrumentalist Emanuele Maniscalco. Piano and drums are played together to perform a single composition that is partly written and partly improvised sata drawing cues from jazz, ambient music, Brazilian folk music, 20th-century cultured music, Bach and art pop. Musical ideas are developed by the dancers’ actions in a constant interplay of balance and repetition to shape tight dialogue between sounds and gestures.
Each performer is grappling with the performance and at the same time with its continuous variation that is always personal and surprising. On the Moment allows us to reflect on the compositional structure and its continuous reinvention thanks also to the effects that music produces on the emotional sphere. Timeless Time is the place of the memory of sounds and gestures, which creep in among the many musical and choreographic variations.
