 Double bill: L'uomo - Lo Giudice Dance l SQ - Ali Heffetz

Lo-Giudice Dance are an internationally touring contemporary dance company based in the North-East of England under the direction of choreographer Anthony Lo-Giudice. Since 2012, the company has entertained audiences across the UK and Europe from small and intimate performances on the Grand Canal in Venice and The Holy Island of Lindisfarne, to large scale festivals such as Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Movimentale Napoli, Agitart Figueres es Mou and performances in UNESCO world heritage sites in Italy, Prague and Ukraine.

L'uomo (translating in Italian as ’The Man’) is a short dance theatre duet centred around two men. It is an enveloping of two people, entwining themselves through intimate gestures that interact and reciprocate the invitation to touch and connect to another. Caught between a place where delicate exchanges of affection and moments driven by the heart-felt become entangled with the discomforts of prejudice, L'uomo examines and highlights the concerns same-sex couples can still face when holding hands or showing affection in public.

Ali Heffetz is an Israeli artist based in Berlin. Her works examine the threads between body, textures and sound, and touches topics related to emotional patterns and variety of mindsets. Her work had been shown in venues such as Färgfabriken Stockholm (Sweden), Birmingham International Dance Festival (UK), SOMA art gallery (Germany), Zimmer TLV (Israel) and United-C Art house (NL).

The piece ’sq’ is reflecting on our mental leftovers. Melted memories, fantasies, and all the in-betweens. It is a travel between our inner rooms, where underlaying desires are peeled off, endless ambiguity face rusty imagery, and blind determination is silently falling apart. Aiming to build visible structures made of physical sensation, ‘sq’ seeks to delve into the diverse surfaces of human emotional intensity. Transparent layers of polarities sketch a visual representation of the unconscious, and examines the characteristics of hidden realities.
