Four bodies give life to relationships built on listening, tension, and complicity. The project stems from the encounter between two worlds steeped in mystery: painter Lou Benesch’ visual poetics, and the enigmatic atmosphere of Elysium Planitia, a Martian region suspended between reality and imagination.
Jari Boldrini and Giulio Petrucci trained at Opus Ballet and the Teatro alla Scala Dance School, collaborating with Virgilio Sieni, Cristina K. Rizzo, and Fabrizio Favale. In 2018, they founded C.G.J. – Collettivo Giulio e Jari, developing a body-based exploration of performative formats rooted in observations of everyday life.
