In the dual athletic and rhythmic nature of the jump rope, with HIT OUT Parini Secondo elevates the intimate practice of training into a performative action: the hammering succession of rope strokes morphs into the drumbeat of rebellion against those forces that would have us lie motionless on the ground with our eyes closed. Parini Secondo focuses on the sound produced by rope skipping, dissecting its timbral possibilities. The jumpers on stage perform a rhythmic and at the same time choreographic score in which single-unders, side-swings, and double-unders are both athletic and musical elements: combined with voice and synthetic sounds, they harmonize into a true hit. To jump, at once limping and flying, is a rebellion against gravity; the pounding succession of rope strokes is the echo of this rebellion, and with time its meaning fades away. The error suddenly happens and reminds us of the origin of our dissent: from the awareness of our weight, the reason for the uprising can be powerfully renewed.
