GRACES by Silvia Gribaudi. Photography by Pasquale Divicenzo
GRACES is a project inspired by The Three Graces, a sculpture created by Antonio Canova between 1812 and 1817.
The work draws from mythology: Zeus’ three daughters – Euphrosyne, Aglaea and Thalia – radiated splendour, joy and prosperity.
Three male figures take the stage in a space and time suspended between the human and the abstract: a place where male and female meet without roles and dance to the rhythm of nature itself.
With generous humour, Silvia Gribaudi transforms imperfection into an art form, using a direct, raw and deeply empathetic comic style that blurs the boundaries between dance, theatre and performance.
