Bodies, myths and fades: the day of June 14 at the Opera Prima Festival

When night falls on Piazza Vittorio Emanuele II, the air gets lighter and the scene opens up to another type of story. It is that of sisters Charly and Eriel Santagado, founders of mignolo dance , based between the United States and Belgium. In we're too young to write a memoir, the two performers give body to a choreographic research that is born from the most radical intimacy: that of blood bonding and shared childhood.

The title is already a statement of poetics: we are too young to write an autobiography, but not to explore how the constant confrontation - between sisters, between bodies, between styles - leaves traces in the way we move, express ourselves, relate. One is the mirror and the limit of the other and on stage their dialogue develops like a two-handed writing that, instead of merging into a single style, claims diversity, primarily in choreographic language.

The performance, lasting twenty minutes, alternates moments of technical precision with playful, almost buffoonish drifts, in which you can feel the shared background of physical theater, contemporary dance and circus art. The gesture is now light, now pointed, but always exact, supported by an authentic relationship that manages to involve and entertain the public of the square. The game between imitation and rupture, symmetry and divergence, generates a tension that keeps the scene alive.
