Pathosformel, a young Venetian company already reported by Scenario Award (2007) for the show La Timidezza delle Ossa, owes its distinctive signature to the ability to make the viewer penetrate inside subtle visual mechanisms, whom signs bring to an intimate and acestral corporal dimension. Vision becomes the place of exploration and research that sees in the body the object of a sensitive study, in which is possible to recognize potentialities and inventive of a scenic devise that set the audience free to invent his path of vision. The group, Daniel Blanga Gubbay and Paola Villani, is able to conjugate the corporeal to the incorporeal with attention and care, making the scene raising to a place of conflict between perception and illusion, in a crescendo that in Volta (2007) makes appear scraps of shapes. With La più Piccola Distanza, the direction of their work is considered a point of departure for a further reflection about the presence of the human body on the scene, that is the main element of their performatory practice.
The body, invisible on the scene, is treated as a shape: coloured squares move separetely along parallel directrixes according to different kind of movements running through relations and interlacements that recall a human character. The movement of every single shape is accompanied by the emission of a live note. An indissoluble bond is created, it emphasizes the human figure of every geometrical movement and seems to create a wider system whom squares stay as simple notes within a sort of moving pentagram.
Geometrical shapes run through all the relationship chances – crowdings and solitudes – that establish the rhythmic alternation of a scenic creation. The spectator has the duty (besides the chance) to make resurface the human character from the abstract system he usually faces.
