Casual bystanders questions the concepts of perception and real in relation to physical and historical data collected from casual micro-communities and occasional passers-by who provisionally compose them. The performance is based on the choreographic reconfiguration a corpus of “not-extraordinary” gestures proceeding from kinetic and verbal fragments of casual bystanders observed in public places. Between 2014 and 2015 Salvo Lombardo has been observing and writing into a series of notebooks progressively numbered, their postures, their gestures, the rhythmic pace of their movement as well as sound fragments and parts of speeches. The contexts where this material was collected are the most various places: squares, streets, shops, libraries, museums, stadiums, railways and metro stations. In parallel the artist also formed an archive with environmental recordings and samples.
