production MARCHE TEATRO 

Carmela is a choreographic project exploring desire and female identity through the body, considered as a political, sensitive, and relational space. Drawing inspiration from cinematic worlds that blend lyricism and intimacy (Almodóvar, Ozpetek), the work explores pleasure as both a right and a revolutionary act, restoring the body to the centre of emotional experience. On stage, four performers embody a vibrant and collective presence, traversed by tension, surrender, need, and listening. The energy of tango, detached from its codified form, flows through the project as an emotional trace and relational impulse. The creation unfolds as a space for physical and poetic exploration, where eros and fragility intersect and each gesture becomes a potential encounter. Carmela does not tell a story but evokes a world where pleasure is not only physical, but existential. 

Laura Gazzani

Laura Gazzani is an Italian choreographer who explores human fragility through the body, placing it in relation to space, the audience, and time. Her work moves between structure and improvisation, transforming the stage into a place of negotiation between what happens and what appears, where perception overlaps with reality and reshapes it. After training in the USA and Spain, she began her creative journey with Pedro, her first solo choreography, selected for the Vetrina della giovane danza d’autore 2021. In 2021, she created Walter, a co-production with Anghiari Dance Hub and Zerogrammi, supported by ResiDance XL and winner of the Danza Urbana call in 2022. She believes that each creation is a living organism that grows, matures, and evolves like a human being, carrying within it both fragility and the potential for transformation. This is why her works often bear personal names. Her latest piece, Graziosissimo, was supported by SIAE and MiC as part of the programme Per Chi Crea in 2024.
