Marco D'Agostin First Love

Show
First Love de Marco D'Agostin
It’s the story of a young man in the 1990s who didn’t like football but cross-country skiing and dance. In 2002, the Italian skier Stefania Belmondo won a gold medal at the Olympics. Marco d’Agostin pulls from this mythical victory to create an unclassifiable show featuring dance, performance art, sport and a diary where he discusses nostalgia and the desire to push the envelope.

Originally performing as a dancer and performance artist, Marco d’Agostin embarked on his own creative journey in 2010, brilliantly easing his way up to the front line of Italy’s stage landscape. His repertoire, which speaks to a deep interest in the role and functioning of memory, currently includes a dozen pieces, including the widely praised duo Avalanche (2018). With First Love (2018 as well), Agostin pays an offbeat tribute to his childhood idol, cross-country ski champion Stefania Belmondo, who received three medals at the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City. A teenager at the time, he went cross-skiing himself. With the movements he once performed still ingrained, he now reinterprets onstage the 15 km event where Stephania Belmondo delivered her most outstanding and gold-winning performance. This unclassifiable piece slaloms freely between theater, dance and performance, both artistic and athletic. Equally funny and emotive, it’s an invitation to meditate on the passage of time and the desire to push one’s limits.
