Matteo Sedda, winner of DNAppunti Coreografici 2024, presents FUCK ME BLIND, a duet where the performers are connected through a shared central point of movement. Inspired by Derek Jarman’s film Blue, the performance addresses the theme of invisibility. Jarman, ill with AIDS and facing death, created a film with a single frame of International Klein Blue, accompanied by a psychedelic soundtrack that induces a hypnotic effect. Sedda’s choreography draws from these elements to create a similar sensory experience. The two dancers, rotating together, form a continuous flow that traces the space around them. Their movements are inspired by ballroom and folk dances, such as tango and waltz, with a contemporary twist exploring the relationship between attraction and distance. Eros and Thanatos become the core of the movement, while the dance makes the bodies visible and breaks the cycle of death and invisibility.
