Inspired by the Italian common expression “eating with the eyes,” “Eat Me” is a reflection on the making of the observed body. The soft forms of the two dancers outline the curves of abstract postures: memories from the topos of the lying female portrait and everyday gestures draw images of a progressive emancipation from the floor, remaining unabashedly frontal but concealed. The project was awarded during the 2023 edition of DNAppunti Coreografici and comes to its debut after a course of residency and study.
