โSitting on top the horse's back, sleep took me over and the mountains laughed. It has been forever since the first day yet we walk, carrying the weight of the memories our ancestors left. Kings and Queens, beggars and thieves, are masks that we wore to survive the dream. Is the sun burning my face? Or itโs just a cold breeze? That cleansing my fate from the unforgiving sin. Now the nightmares have gone hearing David's song and I can rest into peace.I swear to the bird and I swear to the tree, I will not stop walking until I find the seaโ. โFรกrisaโ is a duet created for outdoor spaces in the context of the โPilgrimsโ project. The work follows two charactersโ need for genuine connection and contact as they remain in close proximity. It is inspired by the notion of pilgrimage as a simulation of the human journey through life, of our relationship with animals and the natural world. How can two separate trajectories meet and travel together? How do we build relationships on shared connection and mutual support? How can the established hierarchy of humans and animals be redefined?

Time becomes a measure instrument of excellence. It obsesses us, terrifies us, makes us feel guilty and give us a sense of urgency. We put our heart and soul into our work. We constantly want to master time, to control it but it is an illusion. We must maintain an idealised self-image, until the point of ignoring its own value and wealth in the benefit of work. Only one objective remains: to make the most of this time again and again, until you get satisfaction, and then, eager for the best, we repeat this pattern indefinitely. You are trapped in a race against time, in which we exhaust ourselves providing more and more energy.

Somiglianza (Prรฉlude ร lโAprรจs-midi dโun faune) is an ironic and joyful homage to Nijinskyโs legendary creation and his renowned modern ballet, Lโaprรจs-midi dโun faune. Combining fin de siรจcle imagery with exotic staging, Somiglianza questions symbolism in Western society. Nijinskyโs creation of Debussyโs Lโaprรจs-midi dโun faune, one of the most famous modern ballets, serves as a starting point for Korโsia to showcase their unique vision of dance iconography. Blending end-of-century imagery with contemporary entertainment, the work is a captivating journey through the history of dance, reinterpreted with a modern and innovative perspective.

Are You Guilty? Explores the famous โbystander effectโ, the social psychology theory that people are less likely to help someone in need if there are other people present. Shall we stay silent or act? Who is the perpetrator and who is the victim?

Dr Paula Guzzanti is a dance artist, scholar, somatic movement practitioner, and tango dancer and teacher. She specialises in artistic and embodied research practices. In her research, Paula explores the role of the sensorial body in fostering responsible decision-making when designing urban landscapes that connect us to the natural environment. She is particularly interested in developing methodologies to deepen our interaction with the world, including the use of digital technologies to document sensory connections to places. She began her dance training in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and later continued in Ireland, where she earned a practice-based PhD in Dance Improvisation and Collaborative Performance Making at Queenโs University Belfast. She now resides in Malta, where she is the Head of the Dance Studies Department at the University of Malta.
