“EVERY-BODY is a project in mutation (…) “A question of love” focuses on some of the questions that Peggy Phelan has defined as the base of theatre and performing arts: Do you love me? Do you see me? Do you hear me? Would you die for me? Unsolved questions that regard every type or relations: me and the other.
I watch 2 bodies dancing: getting closer, brushing against and leaving each other and this questions reappear in my mind. Listening to so many songs, the lyrics repeat to the infinity these questions. They are unsolvable.” Antonio Tagliarini

Italian review: “Antonio Tagliarini con il suo Every-body, una domanda d’amore, ha creato una cornice in cui i corpi si sfiorano, si avvicinano, si mostrano, si abbracciano. Un amore che nasce e muore nel turbinio del movimento concentrico del mondo. E non a caso gli spettatori oltre a essere abbracciati, sono stati sollecitati dai corpi performanti a ballare, a esistere, anche loro in una realtà che ha reso finalmente possibile l’incontro.” Igiaba Scego, 18.9.2014, in Internazionale
