FOLK-S is a sound excerpt from Alessandro Sciarroni's performance of the same name - FOLK-S will you still love me tomorrow? - a choreography about time, a performance that stems from a reflection on the popular phenomena of ancient dances.

The Schuhplattler is a typical Bavarian and Tyrolean dance; it means "shoe clapper" and literally consists of clapping one's legs and footwear. In this audio document of FOLK-S, the repetitive, percussive sound of hands and feet refers to a complex system of repetition codes by which Sciarroni represents folklore and the human condition, characterized by the slow exhale and inhale of a bellows accordion.

Alessandro Sciarroni is an Italian artist active in the Performing Arts with several years of training in the field of visual arts and theatrical research behind him. His works are presented in contemporary dance and theater festivals, museums and art galleries, as well as in unconventional spaces compared to traditional venues and involve professionals from different disciplines.
