‘what if I couold dance, what if we could dance?’ is a performance about autobiography and fiction, which starts from the (im)possibility of creating a dance solo with a body that does not possess the technique, the intensity, or the stamina to do so. By sharing his story, the performer makes known his alternative path in the dance medium, exploring everyday situations to generate movement. Still, it is not enough. For the show to happen, the will of the audience is fundamental. There is thus a clear analogy between what we can do alone or collectively, questioning the place of technique, solo and authorship.
