Of the permeability of bodies. Of bodies that become places. Of geographies that displace signs. Of leaning to the east. Of the perceptive shift that makes everything seem symmetrical but it really isn’t. Of that excess of visibility that gives you an extra diopter (see the two shoulders are different). Of the tensions that are on the verge of making you move even if you resist. Of that foot that feels just a bit tighter in the shoe. Of a certain cardinal order that remains the same when everything else changes. Of an architecture that is the rule of bodies. Of a choreography that becomes the space of other sub-bodies, equally eukaryote. Of being just barely uncomfortable (consenting). Of inhabitants accelerated in a jungle of gestures. Of a habitat at 45 degrees. Of a possible summer storm. We will talk about it.

Then everything will depend on everything.

"Postural variations by Francesca Pennini: a piece that has been able to unleash overwhelming energy, great directing lucidity and a good dose of irony, placing the performers in a game situation that allowed the body to make space, and space to prove to the living body, in a result that certifies the ability to capture in an extremely productive workshop the intensiveness of opportunity, diversity and specificity of the participants, the short time of the public demonstration"

"Perhaps Sieni should have bet even more than it has done on the Italian, today the most interesting of certain Central European wherever required. Like Francesca Pennines with its CollettivO CineticO engaged in a cheerful combative format"

[ Marinella Guatterini - Il sole 24 ore - 20/07/2015 ]

"In three days over fifty shows occupied the city. Not all of the same level, some slightly higher than the results of a choreographic laboratory, but other mature and accomplished. Like for example the work - with a kilometric title - that Francesca Pennines has created for two groups of dancers engaged in a comical and absurd team's game with a taste of mockingly television"

[ Sergio Trombetta - la stampa - 28/06/2015 ]

"We came across many signs of authorship, some poetic (...) others conceptual (but, God willing, with the irony of a joyous desecration) - Francesca Pennini of CollettivO CineticO applies the rules of a game and the whim of the ''what if..." at the choreographic methodology (we're still waiting to see what this intelligent creator wants to do as a grow up)"

[ Silvia Poletti - delteatro.it - 29/06/2015 ]

"Cohesive national pride for the body dynamics of Collective CineticO"
