BALLROAMING // Welcome to the Jungle

BALLROAMING is a collective dance, a mobile discotheque, a movement practice, which is intimate and public, secret and exposed.

It's an invitation to take part.

Ennrolment is open to everybody: you just need to build a mask, bring earphones and download a soundtrack from the internet.

The ballroamers listen to the same sound and follow the movement instructions by CollettivO CineticO, given to them during a training right before the performance.

They cross the city as a rythmic and silent dancing agglomerate, a urban rite of territorialization and energic defribillation.

It's collective sweat.

The square is invaded by masks arranged with old stuff, borrowed from media icons, arrived from the primeval forest. They dance, frenetic. They freeze. They slow down. We can't hear their music. Ballroaming arrives like a strange interference in the afternoon flow. A regulated trance that shows the transport of the individual energy and immediately it holds, it hides, raises like a dance on the emptyness, in the abscence, on mystery and transparency... without responsability but with all the weight of your existence. Francesca Pennini and Angelo Pedroni (heads of CollettivO CineticO) set one of their intelligent and (coldly, logically) engaging works. They continue the exploration of contemporary superheroes at the same time with irony, detachment and passion. Beautiful.
