Artist Statement: In 1518, a bunch of people from a french town called Stransbourg were
affected by something called dancing mania. It began with one lady named
Frau Troffea dancing in the street and end up with, more or less, 400
people dancing on for days without rest, resulting in some deaths of
heart attack, stroke and exhaustion. This project is, in some sort of
way, a memorial for Frau Toffea. From the silliest little dance to the
most elaborate dance sequence of the history of cinema, there were a lot
of dancing in the last decades (not enough to kill anyone, I hope).
Here are some of these dances.
