BODY PLACE IMAGE tells the story of eleven Georgian performing artists creating a site-specific work in KHIDI, a techno-dance club built into the anchorage of the Vakhushti Bagrationi Bridge in Tbilisi. Well-known as a place for Dionysian social gatherings, KHIDI also serves as a center of progressive political action for young Georgians fighting for a democratic future. Led by New York-based director Nancy Allison and her Venetian-based associates, choreographer Laura Boato and dance captain Michela Lorenzano, the Georgian performers explore western contemporary dance practices in this unique setting as insights about their struggles and joys emerge for them and for their audience.
