LIVE PERFORMANCE
'Allora' Lizzie Johnstone | GATHER TOGETHER (2023)
Allora
[adverb]
“Raddoppiato, accentua l’istantaneità del momento.”
[English translation] “Doubled, it accentuates the instantaneity of the moment.”
Set to unsettling accoustics, ‘Allora’ is an epiphanic physical narrative, devoted to the human experience. Embodying European Renaissance aesthetics and Baroque and Rococo style movement scapes.
Duration: 10 mins, no interval
Choreographed and performed by Lizzie Johnstone
Sound composition by David Johnstone
