In Grace, Pöhler Dance Company presents a new work-in-progress exploring the quiet spaces where a woman's voice has been historically erased, contained, or reframed. We are reflecting on how control and resilience move through bodies, generations, and institutions.

Set to live music by opera singer Alexa Rosenberg, the piece weaves contemporary dance with the charged landscape of Sposa, son disprezzata , an Aria haunted by devotion, loss, and control.

Sposa, son disprezzata

Originally composed by Geminiano Giacomelli for his 1734 opera La Merope, this aria was later incorporated by Vivaldi into his pasticcio opera Bajazet, where it is performed by the character Irene. The text expresses the anguish of a faithful wife who feels scorned and betrayed by her unfaithful husband.
