Nostalgia is a profound reflection on the longing for the past, the desire, and the need to relive unique and unrepeatable moments. In a world where everything is constantly changing, Insaudo takes us on a journey born from his melancholic yet optimistic nostalgia
for the fragments of life experienced on stage. The performance focuses on the time frame between the final moments of a show and the first applause from the audience, challenging the traditional chronology of a performance and chaotically retracing the dancer’s emotional spectrum. Insaudo questions what would change if we viewed the final bow of a performance as an iconic image, asking whether the artist has ever truly stopped performing or if they remain trapped in a different dimension. The work incorporates a narrative device – a documentary-style video – which, much like memories that emerge in a non-linear way, constructs the scene through an unconventional sequence. The performance becomes a perceptual shift for the audience, immersing them in the creative process and the emotions it evokes in the dancers.
