A mysterious palaeontologist appears before the audience to talk about bones, extinctions and cosmic material. It immediately becomes clear that something is not quite right: his sentences reveal sentimental details, the posture of one of his limbs takes on a bizarre choreographic pose, and the pronunciation of his words increasingly resembles singing.
Marco D’Agostin’s new show is a tribute to musicals, to their overwhelming and paradoxical logic, to love stories that end as suddenly as an asteroid and to our human, intolerable finitude. With his usual brilliant irony, the Venetian artist develops a score for voice and body that moves between palaeontology, dance and romance, an unprecedented duet that pairs science and love, entertainment and information, life and death, dance and theatre. Amidst betrayals, dinosaur bones and mysterious caves full of iridium, Asteroide depicts the extraordinary ability of life – and therefore of art – to always reappear in new forms, without ever succumbing.
