PerAria

Go outside,
stand like this…
…with your head in the air.
Be silent,
and listen to the wind,
it has all the answers…

Once again this year, the Sosta Palmizi Company returns to Fonderia to make us dream, with a show dedicated to children from 5 years old.

With the freedom of spirit typical of childhood, the lightness and depth of imagination, a small room can become a place for great adventures: with eyes closed and ears wide open, the air and the wind whisper incredible stories to us! They can take us to that strange country, Anarea, the country without winds where everything is still and moving is a fascinating challenge. Or to the Land of Flying Hats, where the gusts of wind are so strong they swap people’s hats and identities! PerAria takes us into a world where adult logic becomes increasingly rarefied, making room for curiosity, wonder, creativity, play, and emotions, inviting the audience to become lighter and to stay (…at least for the duration of the show) a little more with their head perAria!

The idea for the show came from the desire to create a tribute to life, lightness, and carefree living. The authors were inspired by air and wind as vehicles and conduits of experiences and emotions, creating a nested narrative containing other stories born from the illogical, stimulating, and whirlwind curiosity of childhood and creativity.

“We are overwhelmed by the energy of dance, emotions pass through movement, light and delicate, as light as air, or wild and explosive.”

Giorgio Rossi is the co-founder in 1984 of the Compagnia Sosta Palmizi and its subsequent Association, of which he is still co-artistic director along with Raffaella Giordano. Giorgio Rossi, as E. Satie would say, “is a dancing mammal.” At the age of 4, after seeing the Swiss clown Dimitri, he realized that theater was his life. He owes his artistic success to having had the opportunity to witness the works of great masters (Kantor, Brook, Bausch, Carlson), and with some of them, he learned the art of the stage, both as a student and as a performer. He collaborates with artists from other fields, such as: P. Fresu, B. Bertolucci, T. Gylliam, S. Benni, P. Turci, L. Poli, D. Riondino, P. Rossi, Banda Osiris, G. Mirabassi, M. Rabbia, M. Baliani, and many others; he participated as a dancing author in the show *Vieni via con me* by R. Saviano and F. Fazio. In 2013, he choreographed all the movements for *Carmen* by Bizet with L’Orchestra di Piazza Vittorio. With over 30 productions, his shows have traveled the world thanks to the universality of the poetic art of movement. In recent years, he has created three performances aimed at younger audiences (*Con il naso all’insù*, *Costellazioni. Pronti, partenza… spazio!*, *Esercizi di fantastica*). In 2019, he curated the formative and creative residency at the École des Sables in Dakar for the exchange project “Italie, Culture, Afrique.” He has collaborated with the company El Grito both as a performer (*Gran Circo Rossini*) and as a choreographer (*Uomo Calamita*). In 2021 and 2022, he worked as an author and performer alongside R. Goretti and M. Bonechi for the production *Gli ultimi giorni di Pompeo* by Andrea Pazienza. In 2022, he began a collaboration with composer and pianist Livio Minafra (winner of the Top Jazz awards in 2005, 2008, and 2011); their encounter gave birth to *Agata*, an improvisation project for dance and piano. In 2023, the partnership with Minafra was confirmed by a new production that expanded the collaboration to Savino Italiano in the creation of *In_vento*, a work on the theme of air dedicated to younger generations, a prequel to the production *perAria*, which will debut in 2024. In 2023, he also directed the staging and choreography movements of *Vertigine della Lista*, a performance by and with F. Albanese, S. Baldini, L. De Simone, and L. Valli, born from the encounter with the essay of the same name by U. Eco. For many years, both in Italy and abroad, he has had a significant involvement in education, where workshops and collaborations with dance, theater, and circus schools contribute to the dissemination of the choreographic arts.
