Teatro Grande Brescia

Madeleine Stefania Tansini

Inspired by Marcel Proust’s famous Madeleine passage, Tansini explores how sensory experiences can collapse past and present, awakening untamed bodies. At the heart of the project is Tansini’s distinctive physical language, an exploration of the body as an unstable and transformative organism. His work draws the audience into a state of heightened perception, where the seemingly ordinary becomes charged with intimacy and intensity. The performance space serves not only as a backdrop, but as an integral part of the choreography. The result is an experience that lies “between the raw and the refined, between the formal and the wild,” continually assembling and reassembling fragments of the surrounding world: distances, colors, silences, absences, noises, voices, skins. Moments of lucidity and formal clarity give way to moments of dissolution, creating the sensation of being anchored in the present and at the same time slipping into a space beyond ordinary time.
