Premiere of "Oni wa soto (鬼は外)"

 

A 4 week long creation with the 3rd year students of the dance department of Civica Scuola Paolo Grassi has resulted in the evening length performance “Oni wa soto

Oni wa soto takes inspiration from both Noh theatre and the Setsubun festival.

Setsubun is a Japanese ritual that is done once a year at the beginning of spring in which the participants throw beans at one of their family members wearing the oni (devil) mask while shouting ''Oni wa soto!'' (Devils out!).

Oni wa soto is a blend of soft flowing movement qualities, Noh theatre appearances, hints of achronological narrative and surreal lighting resulting in what could be considered as magic realism.

Premiere of "Welcome to my funeral"

 

After 2 weeks of creation at Fabbrica Europa in Firenze and at Aterballetto in Reggio Emilia we have premiered Welcome to my funeral which will be performed in various festivals and venues in the coming months such as Centrale Montemartini (Roma), La Primavera dei Teatri (Castrovillari) and Dap Festival (Pietrasanta) with other dates set for next season.

Welcome to my funeral addresses the increasingly blurring of the borders between reality and the virtual world.

How do we as humans use technology to feed our own egos? How do we use technology to form unique bonds with others? How do we use technology to manipulate strangers? These are a couple of questions that the performance addresses

Premiere of "Abandoned Minds"

 

After 3 weeks of creation in Minas de São Domingos we are excited to have premiered Abandoned Minds which will go on to be performed in other cities and countries in the coming years.

Abandoned Minds is an immersive site specific solo performance with strongly pronounced visual and auditive elements. The project was born out of the curiosity of performative artist Rui Paixão and choreographer Brandon Lagaert to fuse both the world and inner logic of circus, dance and theatre.
