A self-portrait where acute intelligence and innocent sensuality challenge self-mockery set to temper poignant truth.
With Jessica and Me, Cristiana Morganti is addressing the quintessence of artistic identity. Through two voices, one poetic and the other unsettling, the soloist interviews herself, expounding her ideas on her relationship with the body, dance, and presence on stage, in a bid to find past memories, starting from her initial training in classical ballet and through to her encounter with Pina Bausch. The intrepid Amazon performs the exercise in introspection with honesty while also retaining the elegance of matters left unspoken.
