Ginevra Panzetti/Enrico Ticconi

A visually arresting duet, AeReA, the first part of a diptych by the acclaimed duo Panzetti/Ticconi, unfolds in the evocative setting of Piazza Verdi in a free open-air performance. A silvery grey flag floats weightlessly, gliding through the air in a ritual-like motion. Cleansed of all symbols and emblems, it becomes a distilled visual form, a neutral point from which anything can emerge, begin, or disappear. Developed around a powerful visual and choreographic element—the flag—AeReA is the opening chapter of a diptych created by Ginevra Panzetti and Enrico Ticconi. Winner of the Premio Hermès Danza Triennale Milano in 2019, AeReA investigates the flag as a symbol of both unity and division, exploring the subtle threshold between the comfort of belonging and the impulse to impose that identity on others. The title contains the words Ara (which gives its name to the second part of the diptych) and Aerea: the former refers to the altar as a site of sacrifice; the latter to the physical quality of the flag, at its most powerful when lifted and animated by air.
