ATER BALLETTO: FEELING GOOD BY DIEGO TORTELLI
​
A circle, a square, and, at the center, an emblematic human figure.
These are the starting points of Feeling Good, a duet exploring the ability to "be" and "feel." It reflects contemporary dance's power to exist beyond canonical forms of perfection, finding its essence in self-acceptance—embracing strength and fragility alike. The piece challenges symmetrical ways of thinking, celebrating the diversity of each human being as a force that dismantles the notion of "canonical" beauty, since no universal model of beauty can truly exist.
