Aria spinta : in Italian, this literally means exhaled air. However, figuratively (there is a play on words and a double meaning), it means a fierce storm and exaggerated vocals. The play is in fact a knot of relations subjected to the effect of pressure and a comedy where excess prevails. More than a story, mini-stories, mini-incidents, relations that whirl just like feelings and moods. The dance sketches the subtle fluctuation of emotions. Among the five characters are exchanged and rebounding all that bonds and divides people: fleeting desire, permanent hopes and expectation, lies dressed up in equivocal behaviour, fortunate and unfortunate signs of destiny... The sequence of events accelerates agreement and discord in this small group that contains the whole of humanity.The Czech Lenka Flory and the Italian Simone Sandroni met while working for the Ultima Vez company directed by Wim Vandekeybus. They formed their own group that is distinctly European (East and West and hostile to a separation of big and small, rich and poor ) in order to present dance that stretches right up to the frontiers of theatre, with a very personal style of dialogue with the public, and adding just the right dose of seriousness and lightness to create an inimitable formula of their own.
