Milda
Cristina Caprioli

To be dancing so incredibly precise
To distribute oneself into so many pieces
And behave like a fog
Whilst you restrain from ostentation
And cultivate a colorless barricade.

​

To cultivate the silent incommensurable untouchable. To travel by an oscillation that can neither be bribed, nor owned, only acknowledged, and left behind.

To enter a place and stay in that place. And therein dance the dance which dances you. That dance that is somewhat ceremonial, but not pretentious, clearly dysfunctional, yet with the outstanding capacity to perform the hyper-real and by that to bring the entire room to relate to the unconscious and to its illimited production of desire. So that she who enter the haze come out as someone else, knowing this is an obfuscation no one can resist.

​

So you hunt a high-frequency silence
The kind of a-chromatic (white) silence
Whilst you desist from exuberance yet overspend unaccounted precision
With no need of validation
Her entire body a question of what mildness may pave for

​

Five female figures move into a haze they take for granted. Uneven in their contours, utterly vague, yet unusually clear-minded, they dance several choreographies with no start and no end. Consistently gentle, unaffected in every untuned tone of theirs, they blend into one image alone, distant, ungraspable, what slightest sight could make you cry.

As if they were the final evidence of mildness, of what mildness might achieve.
