One of these pieces that touches you intimately: you want to keep the images to yourself; above all not to reveal, and to say nothing except that you have to go and see it.
If it is to be a sign of maturity of the contemporary "young dance", it is first to look for in the choreographers themselves. Of this, Paco Decina would be one of the most beautiful examples. In the form of entertainment, his first creations could please; personally, I was rather insensitive to it. Last year, so it was a little skeptical that I was going to see "Ombre in rosso antico"; attracted by a beautiful poster and, let's say, for an evening to kill. Would have taken place two shows that night, I would probably go see each other.
Fortunately, there was only one! "Ombre in rosso antico" has left me so stunned that I don't know what to say. All finesse and intimacy, this was probably one of the most beautiful pieces I have seen. These pieces that touch you intimately, and you want to keep the images to yourself; above all not to reveal, and to say nothing except that we must go to see her,
But you'd think that chance would do things... Or that a stroke of genius happened only once, Paco Dècina would leave it at that, and return to entertainment. I don't think so. With his latest creation,"Scilla e Cariddi", if there is one blame to be made, it is that of recidivism! How the genius, like the train, sometimes rings twice!
Maybe a little less powerful than "Ombre in rosso antico" (but a very young piece to mature), "Scilla e Cariddi" takes us back to an intimate world where everyone can deposit their dreams and desires. Two mythological monsters, one a victim of jealousy, the other of his own gluttony; devouring and yet so women, guardians of an obscure time where men love and spoil themselves. Monsters, guardians, Scylla and Charybde have always assumed different forms and meanings. Witnesses of the passages, they keep the memory, the fragments, the secrets of all those who, like us, are obliged to cross this passage." (Paco Decina)
After shadow in rosso antico" and "Scilla e Cariddi", if it is to be a maturity of contemporary dance, I believe that Paco Dècina affects it; watch out for the recurrence of recidivism!
