Willy Willy is the name of a strong wind that whips up in the Australian desert, its passage producing a bizarre phenomenon known as dust devils, cones of sand and dust that rise skyward. Taking their cue from the mental images triggered by a hypothetical turbulence in the atmosphere, Sigourney Weaver develop a scenario inhabited by an exploded symbolism, delineating an action zone that extracts, delocalises and transforms the identities passing through it. Willy Willy is a performative palimpsest scanned by experimentation with bodily dynamics and unknown postures, generated by the collision of bodies with media images, forms, materials, experiences, objects and transcultural fetishes.
 
Sigourney Weaver is a duo whose members are Biagio Caravano and Daniela Cattivelli. Both of them have been working on the Italian and international art scene for many years, merging their experiences in a common pathway based on acoustic and bodily experimentation in relation to space. Biagio Caravano is a dancer, musician, performer and one of the founder members of the MK group, a collective that has been working on the national and international contemporary dance scene for quite a few years; while Daniela Cattivelli is a sound artist, a composer of electro-acoustic music and a performer. Her artistic career has been focusing for years now on interdisciplinary practices, either solo or in conjunction with artists from other fields.
