SEPTEMBER 12 / 19:00VITLYCKE - CENTRE FOR PERFORMING ARTS
Welcome to the opening night of the International Performing Arts Festival HERE:2025! Tonight, we invite you to the premiere of Nowhere Like Here, a new dance performance by choreographer Francesco Scavetta (IT/SE). Join us afterward for the festival mingle, accompanied by the amazing soundtrack curated by our DJ.
Nowhere Like Here - Francesco Scavetta (IT/SE)
Nowhere Like Here deals with our emotional responses to the connotation of “home” as a metaphor for identity, of domestic bliss, a place of warmth, comfort and affection, but also conflicts and routines. The place where to welcome and where to close the door and be by ourselves. Where we feel safe and where dishes can pile up. The utopian emotional location we recollect with nostalgia: it’s not a case that when talking about home, we often regress to childhood and refer to the place we grew up.
The performance unfolds a visual and metaphorical blueprint of the “home”, as a microcosm of the world, where thresholds are continually drawn and boundaries repeatedly broken. The dancers on stage rediscover daily rituals, embodying a physical cartography that keeps transforming in front of our eyes: the gesture of welcoming becomes an iconic forgotten language, connecting and rejecting at the same time, in a short circuit of contradictions. The image of the house becomes the topography of our intimate being: people need houses in order to dream, in order to imagine. A politic of the gaze, contra posed to the impression of the glance: epiphanic and restless. Find out more about artists & performance: https://www.here-festival.org/
