Tre Volte

Tre Volte begins with a simple but radical question: What remains today of the gestures passed down through generations of women? The work takes the roots of folklore as its starting point — in particular the tarantella and gestures connected to working the land, daily labor, care, suffering, and small acts of resistance. Long before becoming a popular or festive dance, these movements were a physical response to fatigue, oppression, desire, and survival. They carried what could not be spoken. This piece asks how these inherited gestures persist within a contemporary female body. What happens to them when they live inside a woman who moves through the present, far from her country of origin, yet carries these rhythms and postures beneath the skin? Between inheritance and distance, Tre Volte inhabits the space where folklore is no longer performed, but embodied — where gestures survive not as spectacle, but as lived residue.
