New Stage

Syncope (2010) is choreographed by Gil Roman with music by Citypercussion that arrives in Turin for its Italian première. The choreographer explains what happens when syncope takes place, there is loss of consciousness, loss of inhalation, loss of invention: «music is a backbeat, we speak of syncopated music. In medicine it is a cardiac arrest or the slowdown of heartbeats. Those 5 to 10 seconds of unconsciousness, during which our brain can imagine anything, invent everything, review everything. Memory or imagination? Memory or Creation?».
