SAVE THE LAST DANCE FOR ME
by Alessandro Sciarroni, with Gianmaria Borzillo and Giovanfrancesco Giannini 
Duration 20’
 
Save the last dance for me is the final production by Alessandro Sciarroni, Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement at La Biennale di Venezia 2019. The performance comes from a Bolognese dance called polka chinata, a courtship dance initially performed by men only and dating back to the early 1900s.  Reviving this popular tradition in danger of extinction, Sciarroni develops a whirling journey aimed at bringing memory to the border between tradition and contemporary. A dance on the vertigo of hugging.
