“Ama Fì discards the more committed type of approach to make room for a lighter vein that plays with the elements and sounds of pop and hip hop music. A challenge inherent throughout the work‚ which embraces dynamics and influences close to the hearts of teenagers and is intended as a gesture‚ perhaps an awkward one although full of appreciation‚ dedicated to an age so precious and so difficult. ”

At Cortona’s Signorelli Theatre during the season marking Sosta Palmizi’s ten−year anniversary‚ the dancer Raffaella Giordano presented Ama fì‚ a suite of short choreographic compositions created for the occasion. Guest artists of the evening were the dancer and choreographer Michele Abbondanza‚ a travelling companion in the adventures of the noteworthy company Sosta Palmizi‚ and the group 320Chili‚ with Piergiorgio Milano‚ Fabio Nicolini e Francesco Sgrò.
