ABOUT FALLING
 (2009)
–  Diego Gil & Igor Dobricic


About Falling is a dance performance that oscillates between intense, abstract physicality of movement and a parodic theatricality of empty gestures. In its form About Falling is a musical piece, a concert for three dancing bodies and one electronic musician. It begins with the “body of information”, in continuous search for something new, without time to rest, running towards the overload. But in a subversive act of inversion, instead of falling into exhaustion and despair, the bodies of dancers finally fall out of themselves and toward the audience, opening a margin of manoeuvrability for many other possible dances to offer.
