Action, co(u)nt(e)raction, dilation.
Two figures in spatial resolution. An effort to isolate the distortions and crookedness of the everyday.
In the slow chaos, parallel yet discrete existences inhabit the same space but follow different trajectories.
A meeting becomes a near miss, to avoid contact.
Desire is elsewhere.

Over develops from the theme of relationships, understood as reciprocal contact, or as its impossibility. It explores hypothetical points of contact within difference, while preserving the subjective character of single individuality and revealing the difficulty of interaction.
Over presents the same characters as the company's earlier works, a man and a woman who return to face their relationship, or their lack of relationship. The two protagonists do not interact, they have no need of each other to make sense of their actions. The essence of interrelationship is not representative of a lack. It is the result of a conscious choice found in the coexistence of their respective individualities. A relationship is not a story. It simply happens.



Le-gami is a group based in Bologna, working in dance and contemporary theatre. The members are Luca Nava, Andrea Del Bianco and Francesca Burzacchini.
In 2004, its first production was Separazione. SP3 came from the same project and won the 2004-5 GD'A competition. In 2007 they work on the Over project. The company has presented its creations in national and international arenas, including Danae (Milan), Danza Urbana (Bologna), Ammutinamenti (Ravenna), Santarcangelo dei Teatri (Santarcangelo), Mercat de les Flors (Barcelona), Tunnel Festival (Istanbul), Mes de Danza (Seville and Cadiz) and Dance Days (Swansea, UK).
