PRIMO
Underwater performance for contemporary dance, figures and poetry
Alfredo Zinola and Felipe González present PRIMO, an unusual performance of underwater contemporary dance, set in a large pool on stage. Sitting in front of the numerous windows, the small audience discovers the underwater scenes and observes actions that become miraculously touching. You can see feet, arms, hands, and legs appear and walk among strange creatures, you see two people who find each other in a game that is playful, affectionate, and powerful.
It’s hard to think of a more challenging audience to make performance for than toddlers, which makes Primo only more impressive … a piece of genuine art.
Primo is a standout hit…Alfredo Zinola and Felipe González’s act of graceful movement, floating and splashing through water is, genuinely, a celebration of the human form.
Primo is an astonishing piece of performance installation…a bold vision for the potential of contemporary art for young children.
An experience out of the ordinary!
