Senza titolo (Untitled) is a performance that assumes different forms, durations and tones in the present of the action, each time modified by the space that hosts it and the times that frame it.
Architectures are not altered; rather, it is their configuration that generates trajectories, rhythms, and relationships. The body measures itself against existing elements — angles, thresholds, surfaces, and unevenness — and movement is born from this direct confrontation.
There is no fixed choreographic structure. The composition is built in real time as a response to immediate stimuli: the space's configuration, the audience's position and movement, and the existing sound environment, which is left untouched. Every gesture is conditioned by what is happening around it, what is being transformed, and what is escaping.
Thus, the clothes chosen by Fabio Quaranta enter the dynamics of the composition as an extension of the body and as an element that responds to the space. The choice of materials, lines, and volumes is functional, not decorative, and serves the relationship with the environment. The clothes participate in the perception of time and distance.
The audience is free to move around, cross paths, and get distracted. Their presence is not external but part of the action. Postures, movements, and attention spans are active elements of the scene, continually altering its form. Therefore, any attempt to frame or compose must continually adapt to the unpredictable. It is in this gap between initial intention and questioning, in this interplay of adaptation and shifting perspective, that the performance takes shape.
Place or space?: Every step arrives at a place.
If you care where you are then we will care also.
J. Borrows, "A choreographer's Handbook"
