Arsura is a choreographic solo that highlights the perception of scenic unity, transforming the body into one element among many: light, sound, and space become tangible co-protagonists.
The dancing figure, embodied by Rhuena Bracci, is wrapped in a red costume that erases any somatic detail, reducing her to a pure corporeal sign, devoid of individual identity. The veiled face prevents visual contact, emphasizing de-individualization and focusing attention on movement as the sole narrative vehicle.

The lighting dramaturgy, curated by Marco Valerio Amico, shapes space and time through red hues, generating perceptual densifications and rarefactions. Light becomes matter itself—a light-body that interacts with the performer and the surrounding space.

In parallel, the sound component emerges as a sound-body: a dramaturgy composed of foreground voices, noise, and musical fragments or songs that appear like phantoms. This layered soundscape envelops and intersects with body and light, creating a constant tension between presence and absence.

Arsura marks a significant step in gruppo nanou’s ongoing research, continuing the exploration initiated with Canto primo and deepening the dialogue between scenic presence and perceptual composition.
It is a work that invites the audience to confront the absence of identity and narrative, focusing instead on a radical sensorial experience and the purity of movement.
