Why the desire of the exotic?
What can the smell or the colour of the exotic have, that night at Ex-Ospedale Sant'Agostino?
A palm? A fan? Maybe an elephant.

On the ground. A theoretical.peformative revival
Overground required the dissociation from theatrical space. The performer has been immortalized by the photo out of his most congenial habitat. A délacement that generated the tweak of unknown scenic perimeters, other visions, new landscapes, uncommon spacial configurations. It's like saying about all of what potencially that scene could indicate and could be able to do. Not for telling us that someting is happened, but for talking about its leap and its impetuosity. It's a political and imaginary matter, because a process of seeing, a sight, a tissue of infinite and variable system of space are building around the performer-object.
Overground investigated the intersection areas, the shift and stitch ones between the firmness of the photo and the analysis of the new scene that has been produced by this. Both actions requested different kinds of movements, different writing forms. From the scene to the landscape the shape is rising. the theoretical-perfroming actions hosted in the Luca del Pia's exhibition, in Ex-Ospedale Sant'Agostino, are an acceleration proof. In respect to Overground the time changes.
We can experience the private and public meeting between performing act and theoretical gesture. We can see from the hole from which you can spy, hidden, an intimacy theoretically unreachable (without theory). Sometimes the proof can request other simulations. An impermanence. A disaster writing. The separation. The exotism.
We leave at the same time the stage and the book shape, just to indicate the birth of a new kind of writing in a never-ending sequence. The writing unities that are produced and shown in every action, don't fit defintive concepts, instead they denote a "theory", meaning "inventory". The list is organised by a cahotic and discordant texture.
They are writings that are inconstantly and firmly alligned to the shape. Writings for exhibition, contact and pressing, without sheet, ink or seed dispersion.
A writing, in the end, that is ready for the destruction of the original in the same moment in which is impressed.

MK
Independent formation, she deals with performances, choreographies and sonic research. The project of the group was born in 1999 going through the most important festivals of the contemporary scene with a self-taught corporeal survey work, projected in an international field. Among the recent productions: Tourism, ordered by La Biennale di Venezia, Wasted for F.I.S.Co.08 (then again Happened), Comfort hosted by the Indonesian Dance Festival and the Minneapolis' Sparks Festival and, in the end, Speak Spanish on tour in 2010-11.
In November 2010 the Instruction Series starts, choreographies and performing spaces created from a distance via mail, about topics vaguely colonial, in co-production with Xing/Raum. Still in 2010 the group is committed with two productions (Kamikaze and Judas) in the season about Fondamentalisms wanted by Antonio Latella at Nuovo Teatro Nuovo in Naples.
In 2011 Il giro del mondo in 80 giorni debuts and its touristic corollary Grand Tour too, the urban project Park and the survey led with the participation of the pupils of Scuola Paolo Grassi in Milan, Reform Club. MK is one of the formations to whom is dedicated the book Corpo sottile. A look upon the contemporary European choreography (Ubulibri, Milan 2003). From 2010 the group receives the contribute of MiBAC.
