The choreographer Salvo Lombardo, in his latest work Sport (2023), studies the physical condition of falling in relation to the Western canon of performance and discipline.
In fact, something he said in residency at Lavanderia a Vapore in March 2023 inspired the following – exploring documentation through the lens of falling.
…he said something like „I imagine the Western narrative system that defines these very ideals in a perpetual sunset“ and since that, I have amusingly been thinking about the sun’s gravitational anomaly and about ways in which documentation can act as a thinking companion to unlock what’s stuck with the sunset.
