B E C O M I N G A N I M A L

B e c o m i n g A n i m a l is a choreographic project which uses the fundamentals of the body transformation through the movement. How to transform, mold the body, changing its shapes?
Following the Deleuze’s basics of the becoming, the body becomes something else from the inside, drifting apart to the imitation concept and following a transformation process in which it’s something different from it selves: animal, particle, neutral surface, rock star. Pushing it selves over its boundaries, the performer’s body mutates, creating detached and evocative images which give life to a visual landscape that is not only human, but also animal, iconic, fantastic.
It’s not an animal metamorphosis, but is the achievement of a “non-identity” which is a freedom state. The story is detached and made by images which are generated one by the other, into themselves and one after the other one. Following the “Infra Mince” definition of Marcel Duchamp, the aim is to create a unique space of transition and transformation and an hybridization movement in which two things or entities, mutate in their boundaries after the contact between them, and becoming another thing, for an instant, and for that unique moment which is their meeting. The animal and the human melting themselves in an hybridization movement and in a continue daily exchange. The research of the choreographic material is a choice of physical, special, temporary boundaries, as a possible strategy to influence the body and change its inner and external perception, because the limit arrangement and the adjustment at the circumstances can increase a physical transformation and a new organic movement. Submitting the body to physical rules, we arrive at a different image of the same body. A new presence nondependent to terrestrial rules anymore, but that shows it selves without weight, without spatial orientation, time and identity.

RETIRO

“(…) We must take seriously the idea that public space is a question (…)”
Rosalyn Deutsche
The reflection develops the three spatial elements: the private, the public and the moment between those two, the “dive” as an extreme action of freedom and bravery, or as an acceptance of its own failure.
The fascination is, in its aesthetic, the aim is to interpret the image of the overturning of the body and the crystallization of the dynamic vertigo which happens one instant before the dive. The moment in which the beastliness and the rationality meet, between vertigo, rituality and bravery.
The model references to the “Cry for help”, and describes an individual strategy: attracting the attention on it selves producing an immediate changing in the environment and in the persons which the communication is made for.

IT MOVES ME

“It’s a mirage in the desert
Thundering vapor suspended on a cliff
Crystals full of memories
Light blue silence of a glacier
Diviner path
Gulf and dew
Flows inside us”
The extended imaginary about the water element creates in me a strong attraction. Water as vibration, crystal, undertow, wave, emotion, flow, purification. Not only its presence but also its absence is been a fundamental start of the reflection for the choreographic research. The desert dryness and the deepness of the ocean both inspired the gesture and the dance. The inner water capability to transform it selves and the research of its origin in the body gave the star to the drama path  which conduces us to the integration of its essence in the human being.
