Der Italiener Emio Greco, der seit den Soloproduktionen Bianco, Rosso und Extra Dry ein internationaler Star des zeitgenössischen Tanzes ist, ist gleichzeitig auch einer der originellsten Choreographen unserer Zeit. Er war Tänzer bei Jan Fabre und dann Darsteller in der japanischen Kompanie von Saburo Teshigawara. Die Laufbahn des Choreographen ist das Ebenbild seiner Tanzkunst: äußerst virtuos und weise. Quelle:(www.theater.de)(RS) Young British filmmaker Jocelyn Cammack teamed up with choreographers Emio Greco and Pieter C. Scholten to create a piece of dance for the camera, set in the sands of the desert. Somewhere between the compelling logic of the mind and the impulsive instinct of the body lies a territory as yet uncharted. Piano di Rotta maps a course through this place, a place beyond the known laws of the universe, an undiscovered country between the sky and the earth. Piano di Rotta is a map of the horizon. In this film dance itself is the protagonist ' the choreographers try to zoom in on the essence of their work through the magnifying lense of the camera. The film stresses the attempt at capturing the ‘interspace’, that place in-between physical and cerebral presence, that can neither be made tangible on stage nor in reality. Piano di Rotta is distributed by the French Les Films du Présent (former Summertime Films) and is regularly shown at international dance film festivals. Quelle:(www.ickamsterdam.co)(RS)
