3rd road, Exit 55 / Aurora Brocchi
Language: English
“3rd road, Exit 55" revolves around the intricate relationship with individuals and the space
which we occupy. The concept unfolds as a journey through the spaces we inhabit, our connection with places and the challenges preconceived notions of their meaning. The performance aims to evoke emotions and insights, inviting to question the conventional criteria that define a place's significance, to celebrate the significance of places we inhabit through our lives and to appreciate the intricate interplay between us individuals and our perception of space in time.
Finally, it delves into prompting reflection on whether we've ever entered and lived in a place purely for its existence. The concept transcends traditional boundaries to create a multisensory, immersive experience that challenges our perceptions of space, time, and human connection.

“I move, create, dare and wonder. I see life through art or the other way around.
I’m interested in bodies and about the changes they go through in a life process.
I dance and move cause I can’t imagine a life where I would not do it. I believe in vulnerability, and I think sharing is the most enriching thing that we can experience.”
