Hidden

The collective project Hidden has a ballet core, but its starting point is those points where the world, ruled by a solid structure and all-encompassing rules, encounters human nature, limitations of body and mind and at the same time the force that always leads a ballet dancer. The performers return to the most banal situations that mark the daily lives of dancers, lead them to abstraction, distance themselves from them and re-adopt them, thus overcoming the oppressive rules when trying to embody the ballet world they otherwise control. After all, the performance not only addresses the ballet world, its rules and dynamics, but stepping out of ballet seeks something universally human and shows that the motivation for action or reaction is anchored deeper and ballet is just one of its manifestations.
