In a brilliant show of irony inspired by the most famous of neo-Classical statues, the Three Graces by Antonio Canova, Silvia Gribaudi’s Graces puts three dancers on stage before she herself bursts out to join them. Against all convention, stereotype and automatisms, her dance flits lightly in an apotheosis of the liberating power of imperfection. Winner of the Danza&Danza 2019 award, the piece is a play on social codes such as those of dance.
