Concept, choreography and dance Daniele Ninarello
Music The Kernels

In co-production with Festival Interplay/Mosaico Danza & TPE Teatro Piemonte Europa Creation for euroregional project of urban dance for MERCATI COMUNI/ MARCHER COMMUN (Genova, Torino, Marsiglia, Lione).

Water has always been a symbol of abundance. Over time, the tradition of throwing coins into a fountain or a well to ask for divine benevolence has become a habit for any desire to express. “God Bless You” reflects on the enormous amount of desires that we have, a coin for every dream that makes us close our eyes and to hope, and at the same time reflects on the homeless , as guardian of desires unfulfilled. So “the homeless” becomes a performer, a link between the passer and the well, collector of the others desires, to fulfill their own needs. The dancer moves on a carpet of plastic cups with water inside, as small fountains. He moves disoriented in space, and for every moment of stasis becomes a figure of pity ready to receive wishes. The dancer’s body is exposed to a self-mockery between a dilation and the other, for better orientation in perdition.
