“Emio Greco dances the Martini.” (Berliner Zeitung)
Together with director and dramatic advisor Pieter C. Scholten Greco has prescribed himself a kind of research laboratory on the subject of dance. In this way the trilogy “Extra Dry” matures. Greco found “seven necessities” for “Bianco”. “I have to tell you that I can multiply my body”. “Rosso” is rounder and less illustrative. After white and red the colour of the third part is not, as one would expect, blue but gold – ending the “Martini Trilogy” with “Extra Dry” and a profound joke. Gold, for Greco, is “more a state than a colour, between holiness and profanity”. The idea that inspired him was a golden yellow steppe where animals were waiting for water – thus the different states of tension involved in waiting. “I wanted to create a space where I can make the human body appear and disappear without actually leaving it. Because if you really leave the space you are really more present, as a memory.” Emio Greco
