TECHNE | Giulia Cannas and Vincent Giampino
The τέχνη – téchne project is a shared and collaborative training course led by light designer Gianni Staropoli. The participants, starting from their own artistic project in the making, will have the opportunity to plumb visions and practical notions related to the components of light and space, in order to read and understand light not as a technical datum to be configured in the final stage of the artistic product, but as an alphabetic element and signifying dimension to be thought of in nuce in the phase of the creative process, as a layering of the dramaturgy of the project.
Giulia Cannas | No caption needed
“No caption needed” is an investigation of the body and its ability to express meanings that transcend the barriers of language. The research moves from the themes of marginality and suburbs, places that often generate urgent, authentic and powerful identities. Dance becomes a form of cultural and social protest, it is a poetic and political act moved by a generative anger typical of* young people in revolt raised in disadvantaged environments, transforming it into vital energy and driving force for change. The proposed fragment represents a moment in which body language opens up to a more pronounced contamination, recalling elements of street dance. This segment is accompanied by two sound tracks by queer artist Iceboy Violet, which amplify the emotional intensity and narrative force of the scene. An anger emerges in the body that is expressed through strong gestures and slashes, as if to break in and break the surrounding space.
Vincent Giampino | Schau
In “umlaut,” the theater is the re-choreography of the embedded symbolic, a press for self-demolition. One of the choreographic tools used is quoting, a means of reassembly that places the performer out of chronological time and operates as a dieresis on the bodily genealogy, since the origin is a continuous discard or, better said, the body is a continuous referencing of discards in asynchrony. Schau ( exhibition, exposition, performance) is one of the two derivations of the umlaut project and places an umlaut on ‘bowing, an act of bending to someone, a gesture that enshrines the beginning and the end of a moment, the welcoming and the parting, the thanksgiving and the forgiveness, the request for grace and the surrender to condemnation.
