Music and dance

Bologna

Xing presents in the open area of the Lungo Reno in Bologna "46", a new performance by Mårten Spångberg, choreographer and theorist engaged in expanded choreography, which will open Xing's autumn acitivities. For the occasion Matteo Castro, musician and collector of the most radical research on sounds, will create an original space for sound perception. 46 is a an ongoing research into the autonomous existence of dance. To dance means to be danced by a dance that has its own existence implies. Approaching or caring for such a dance requires a new mind-set and opens for the possibility for altered forms of experience. Inspired by contemporary materialism, quantum-physics, emoji aesthetics, AI and urban-dance, 46 aims to undermine dominant modes of composition and formations of representation, producing places for the possibility of shared practices to emerge.
