This is a choreographic and visual art work, presents different states of danced forms inside a stage setting rendered vaguely alien by a light, flying, ethereal structure and by multicolored and iridescent video projections that flood the whole scene.

The work starts from the concepts of the state of matter – aeriform, solid, liquid, plasma – exploring and inventing dance languages that can reveal different density, rarefactions, intensity, lightness and can reveal the different state of relations between and inside the elements, included the human ones.

The name “Argo” is in fact many things and many forms. It’s a very light gaseous chemical element used in the liquid form to cool the gigantic machines of CERN, it is an ancient Greek city, it is the ship of the Argonauts, it is the name of the dog of Ulysses… This work presents a very variable and alterable universe, acted by a small group of young men that, through the dance, reveal moment after moment very different suggestions, which fluctuate from something very abstract and inorganic like density of gas, to something ancestral and mythical as in a group of nude Greek athletes.
