From Plato's story to the present day, there is a continuous tension in search of the total, unique, complete body. From the "hermaphrodites" narrated in Aristophanes' speech, supernatural figures in terms of strength and shape, to the divided body that we have, there has always been an attempt at reunification, the desire for completeness, the relationship that is never fully "satisfied" because it is now impossible to go back to being a "single body". A perennial desire for reunion, a desire that animates and moves bodies. Two bodies, added together, create a larger one. From Plato to the analysis of current society and the dynamics of the relationships contained in it: the difficulty of finding, maintaining and cultivating a couple relationship in a society that pushes towards an ever stronger individualism and ever decreasing acceptance of the "compromise" of the couple. This is where our moving figures are born, where the two bodies, added together, create a larger one.

Cia. Bellanda was born in 2012 from the desire of Giovanni Leonarduzzi, aka Gava, to seek a personal evolution in breakdance through a deep search for a movement and dance language that unite urban roots and the choreographic writing of contemporary dance. In 2017 Giovanni Leonarduzzi and Claudia Latini decided to join forces in the first company with an urban (breaking) matrix and base, that has been recognized by the Italian Ministry of Culture as a dance production organization.
