A post-modern rhytm meets a cha cha track, goes through the 80’s, slides upon electronic notes and classical scores, and draws on the scene the LGBTQI world and all its shades: a world made of music, courage, freedom, dance, make-up, transgression, tenderness, unconditional love, but also dark corners of fear and madness, where hiding themselves.
“GLO” tells about love stories, unique and similar to each other at the same time. We are brought inside a kaleidoscope, where colourful images swirl around and turn acts into emotions. GLO tells about people: who love and desire each other.
The show is based on four gender studies and is composed by four different pieces.
The audience is involved in a glossy, muffled and teasing world. The powerful voice of Cher and her “Strong enough” make the scene alive, where super heroes in lingerie start to move, like bodies halfway between gay pride and cartoons.
Trait d’union of each situation is the chosen music: it helps both to emphasise the actions and to create a funny and free setting. That is why the playlist is made up of Cher or The Tamperer and contemporary artists such Steve Roach, Harold Budd or Brian Eno.
The only other objects are the clothes of the dancers. Ordinary, daily clothes with which they hide or undress, creating evocative nude-images or ordinary-life pictures that describe their intimacy. In this way they assume a double meaning: the mechanical actions that anticipates the union between bodies, and the metaphorical mean of “dropping” the shell that hides the real essence.
