Bitter Sweet Dance creates highly physical and slightly absurd performances that penetrate every fiber of the body.

During two manias, Gioia Fiorito’s biggest dreams and darkest nightmares became reality. At full speed, energetic and uninhibited, she was like an unstoppable force of nature with a unique experience of the world around her. Now, ten years later, she lives a regular life, but not without the richness of her imagination.

In Gioia Live, together with dancer Mara Hulspas, she honors the power of fantasy, dreams about the future and reflects on the past. With dance, video and text, a game develops between delusion and reality. The warm, elusive and powerful dance of Mara and the poetic, humorous and sharp reflections of Gioia merge into an intense performance that celebrates the autonomy of the individual.
