Independent choreographer and dancer, currently lives and works between Madrid (ES) and Naples (IT)  with more than 14 creations Gabriella Riccio is one of the recognized choreographers of the experimental dance scene in Italy (A. D’Adamo, edited by, Spazi per la danza contemporanea, Editoria & Spettacolo (2009). An eclectic profile with a vast artistic interest that leads to collaborations with different artists and disciplines, questioning dance itself, its limits and boundaries, beyond definitions and labels with a keen interest in the performer as a person and in the “other bodies”.

Evocative and powerful, a sophisticated minimal performance for incarnate sound and sounding bodies. A physical score generated through the use of a sensitive sound environment applied to the peroformance. Messages from philosophy, poetry, literature intersect around body, intimacy, touch, in a tension between eros and thanathos, human and divine. The performance reads and dances Jean-Luc Nancy, Nietzsche, Nijinski and others. A nude scene, a number of microphones in a circle on piles of books, two bodies interact in a dramaturgy built through signs and actions on scene, multiplying the layers of meanings, merging conceptual and dramatic.
