PERFORMANCE
La Lalangue explores the profound relationship between music, the body, and language, drawing from Robert Schumann’s Kreisleriana. Inspired by the concept of lalangue developed by Jacques Lacan, the piece investigates the sonic, affective, and bodily dimension that precedes the meaning of words. On stage, live music engages in a dialogue with the choreographic writing within a texture of gestures, rhythms, and presences, making visible what usually remains hidden in the act of listening. This way, dance becomes a kind of sensitive X-ray of the score, restoring the body’s capacity to generate images, emotions, and memory.

COMPANY AND CHOREOGRAPHER
A dancer, performer and choreographer, Giacomo Luci trained in both ballet and contemporary dance, developing a career that led him to work as a soloist at the Teatro dell’Opera di Roma and subsequently at the Opéra de Lyon. Throughout his career, he has performed works by some of the most important choreographers of the twentieth century and the contemporary era, including William Forsythe, Pina Bausch, Merce Cunningham, Lucinda Childs and Trisha Brown. Since 2018, he has been pursuing his own choreographic research, in which dance, music, visual arts and theoretical thought converge, giving rise to works that explore the relationship between perception, memory and the construction of gesture.
