Photographer’s Note

It is believed that when a new form of dance rises, a god take possession of a body, ready to fill it with its rhythms, energy and substance.

As far as Filippo Tommaso Marinetti is concerned, this demon is the machine. The fascination of the machine for the futurists lays in the fact that it is a living object. The machine is an extension of the human skills, acts on its own, and becomes for the man who created it an ideal of perfection: a model to follow in order to fell ones own energies modified, transformed and multiplied.

Filippo Tommaso Marinetti theorized the futurist dance in his Manifesto of the Dance published in 1917. Ten years later Giannina Censi adopted his theory and worked with him: she transformed into dance futurist poems and pictures, impressions from the war, experiences of flight, natural phenomena and scenes of everyday life.

From the gestural point of view her dances can be defined onomatopoeic. From the structural point of view they are "free-words". The body is a sculpture in movement that acts according to the images perceived.
