Graces is a performance project inspired by the sculpture and concept of beauty and nature that Antonio Canova realised between 1812 and 1817. The inspiration is mythological. The 3 daughters of Zeus – Aglaea, Euphrosyne and Thalia – were divine creatures who spread splendour, joy and prosperity. On stage three male bodies, three dancers inside a sculptural work symbolising beauty in a journey of skill and technique that takes them to a place and time suspended between the human and the abstract. Here the masculine and feminine meet, far from stereotypes and roles, free, dancing to the very rhythm of nature. Also on stage is author Silvia Gribaudi, who likes to call herself an ‘author of the body’ because her creative approach constructively transforms imperfections by elevating them to an art form with a direct, cruel and empathetic comedy in which there are no boundaries between dance, theatre and performing arts.

Over the last 10 years, Silvia Gribaudi has been questioning gender stereotypes, the identity of the feminine and the concept of virtuosity in dance and everyday life, going beyond the apparent form, searching for lightness, irony and humour in physical transformations, in the ageing and softening of bodies in dialogue with time.
