The new fragment of the project on heterotopias "C/o" is dedicated to the internal space of a fold. It's a bending that can be opened and interpreted, that may conceal or defer to an event. Fold as an origami indication or as a trace of curling and developing a sheet. It's a groove that display the strain of a movement. It's a furrow able to forecast information. It's the interval to negotiate the distance. It's the small gap of emptyness that disappear in the adherence and melts in the ubiquity of a contact. Fold thrown open in the violent process of explanation.

Note:
In italian, like in other neolatin languages, the words "fold" (translation "piega" from the latin "*plek-" ) and explanation ("spiegazione", litteraly "stretching a fold") shares the same root


" *Plek- is, more than anything, the (un)folding of thought, the curling of the theoretical formulation, an explanation (translation of "spiegazione", in Italian means litteraly the opening of a fold) around body, dance and choreographic discourse. […] There is a strict mathematical consequentiality, sometimes even gelid, that the piece donates to the spectators eyes, a handful of geometric theorems where the rationality progressively meets incredible poetic peaks. The didactic essay on dance becomes more and more hybrid as the logic precipitate within the dark folds of investigation where the theoretical work of this company takes shape becoming a tangibile object, sometimes incomprehensible to the mind, but always lightning for the gaze of the viewer, letting emerge a subtle yet disarming irony at the same time lucid and insane. [...] Again CollettivO CineticO combines humor and conceptualism demostrating of being in the performing arts one of the main companies that imposes not only personal aesthetic but also a new way of conceiving the process of creation. *Plek- is not limited in being a mere spectacular act, it is the last step of a larger project, the demonstration of a series of aesthetic hypotheses advanced over the past two years by the company and now together in a choreography in which each fold becomes a poetic image and each explanation touches the masterpiece."
