Struggle for the soul – Welcome to my funeral – OPEN REHEARSAL

OPEN REHEARSAL

The increasingly interesting company Equilibrio Dinamico returns to the Fonderia with two new productions.

Struggle for the Soul is the new creation by company director Roberta Ferrara. The choreography represents on stage the inner dissension present in each of us.

Welcome to my funeral is the production by Brandon Lagaert, an artist who has been collaborating for years with the internationally renowned dance theatre company Peeping Tom. The creation is also supported by the Fondazione Nazionale della Danza / Aterballetto.

Choreography: Roberta Ferrara
Dancers: Antonello Amati and Olivia Grassot

The study focuses on the ongoing battle between our fixed body and our eternal spirit. The performers seek peaceful coexistence as if there were two great wolves living inside each of them: one white, the other black.

If they choose to feed them both, they will never fight for each other’s attention and will be able to use each of them as needed. Since there will be no war between the two, one will be able to listen to the deeper voice of one’s own consciousness. Two great forces within us co-exist and if we regard them with equal respect, they will both be victorious and coexist in peace.

A man who achieves inner peace has everything. A man who is torn apart by the war that is fought within him is nothing. I ask myself: how is this battle going for each of you?

The performance focuses on the increasingly blurred boundaries between the real and virtual worlds.
Dependence on technology has completely changed the way we interact with people and the real world around us. The virtual world is becoming more and more realistic thanks to haptic feedback, artificial intelligence, and algorithms that acquire information from people through their input.

Older generations claim to have grown up in a Jurassic era, although even they would struggle without technology as simple as electricity.

How do you use technology to feed your ego?
How does one use technology to create unique bonds with others or manipulate strangers?

Equilibrio Dinamico, founded in 2011 by its current artistic director Roberta Ferrara and now based in Bari, has placed itself in the spotlight for being unique on the Italian dance scene.
Right from the start, in fact, Roberta Ferrara aimed to build a contemporary repertoire company with an international scope by calling upon several choreographers to create world premieres. Jiří Pokorný, Igor Kirov, Matthias Kass & Clément Bugnon, Marco Blázquez, Riccardo Buscarini, and Aida Vainieri are just a few of the signatures that have followed to compose the cahier de danse.

In addition to celebrating its tenth anniversary, in 2021 Equilibrio Dinamico Dance Company was recognised by the Ministry of Culture as a Production Body for Under35 Dance, the only organisation in the Region of Puglia, and in May 2022 it will be presented in the context of the NID-New Italian Dance Platform in Salerno, the platform that brings together the best of Italian dance to be exported abroad.

Equilibrio Dinamico is annually programmed in seasons and festivals in Europe, America and Asia. In addition, Equilibrio Dinamico develops collateral projects for the training and promotion of the public by creating a close collaboration with the promotion body Teatro Pubblico Pugliese.
