Michela Lucenti / Balletto Civile
Italia

18th > 22nd March 25

Teatro Biblioteca Quarticciolo

TICKET

A female gaze on the horror of war, a mother trying to talk sense into her children, the ambition for power to which we are all subjugated as we witness the total destruction of CIVIS. Few props, the physical language that accompanies the narration, the voice as a musical instrument, a non-linear structure, a stream of consciousness, a dissonant chant and a quivering body decomposed to narrate the lucid madness of Oedipus’ lineage. An investigation into one of the most fascinating and contradictory figures of Greek tragedy to explore the powerful female complexity. An investigation between personal destiny and civil chorus, the analysis of an interpretation that challenges the conventions of patriarchal society at the time of a contemporary Thebes. From an idea of character and from anthropological research on tragedy, the desire not to assemble, not to quote the myth, but to tell it in order to understand it. For me, dance, beyond all fashions, is never just an aesthetic fact or methodological research, but has a communicative diktat, a shared reflection of a laboratory of the crisis between the person and the community.

Michela Lucenti is a dancer and choreographer, co-founder of Balletto Civile. she knows Pina Bau-sch's company through her dancers Beatrice Libonati and Jan Minarik; at the school of Teatro Stabile di Genova she meets Jerzy Grotowski's research in the teachings of Thomas Richards. Since 2022 she has been an associate artist of Emilia Romagna Teatro, where she is particularly responsible for the focus on the physical dramaturgy Carne.
