Aldes: Il sesso degli angeli — Erica Bravini and Ilenia Romano in Massimo Marino's review

Massimo Marino reviewed the performance "Aldes: Il sesso degli angeli" in a piece published by Doppiozero on 25 September 2026. The review describes two young women, identified as Erica Bravini (front left) and Ilenia Romano (back right), wearing anonymous light-blue smocks. One has an intense Mediterranean face with long hair; the other an ironic, mischievous expression. They advance with a military-like bearing, almost an exaggerated, dilated goose step, eyes closed, one leg sliding, in micro-steps resembling jolts. Fear is drawn on both faces as the bodies reposition themselves, as if evading rifles aimed at them. The rhythm continues, implacable, with a break in the poses, a lunge, sidelong glances, backs turned. Everything changes except the percussive rhythm, which now evokes a popular dance — a jig or perhaps a saltarello — one after the other, an airy, joyful passage, a whirl of images and emotions in the viewer. Marino interrupts his description to ask whether the attempt to read the figurations and assign them meaning might be useless. The review is bylined Massimo Marino with Anita Romanello, dated Friday 25 September 2026 at 03:00.
