Song Lines: Expedition 97/18
performative act for two and more people

 

In the depth of the choreographic work lies a search for answers to the question of how the traumatic experience of the absence of a loved one can affect our body, even though the loss itself is stored inside a person and is externally invisible.

With this performance, you can safely embark on your own expedition to your personal inner space and approach the essence of this experience during the peaceful flow of words and conscious movement of two bodies, in which personal and collective memories are reflected. The poetics of the language of this work is strongly supported by the songs of Bob Dylan, KD LANG and Nick Cave.

Tomáš Janypka, Sabina Bočková: Personal Story of the Body

 

The workshop explored principles of creation - personal experience, perfomativity, and emotional strength. It was focused on two main lines based on the personal experience of the performer-dancer-creator.

The first line was dealing with being on stage. With the help of various assignments, games, and work with songs, we deepened the perfomative experience - presence.
The second line was the relationship between story (word) and movement. Dealing with the memory of the body - the presence of our stories and their emotionality, which can be based on both the material of the work and the state of the performer himself. Both lines were interconnected and complementary, the tools used led us to the concept of ourselves as an "imaginative" space.

The weekend included morning warm-ups, workouts, and various movement games.

Elia Moretti: While Future Belongs to Ghost
concert

 

Elia Moretti is a member of the executive committee of the Continuo theater ensemble. He is engaged in research and pedagogical activities in the field of stage and ethnic music. In 2014, he graduated from the Conservatory in Piacenza. He holds a bachelor's degree in percussion, which he received for his work on arranging Armenian folklore, in particular Paul Motian's compositions by masters Umberto Petrin and Stefan Bagnoli. Moretti also holds degrees in political science and development cooperation from the University of Pavia. In 2016, he launched a new research and anthropological project in Transylvania, Romania. A year earlier, he had worked on a project exploring ethnic music entitled "Imaginary Folklore in South Moravia: An Ecological Approach", funded by the Ministry of Culture of the Czech Republic.

"The concert finds motivation in the study of human self-reflection and memory in an effort to remember something we have never experienced. It is a presentation of memories that I perceive as a parallel to Derrida's concept of "hauntology". Our relationship to the memory and representation of our individual and collective past has changed. Memory could be the past that has never taken shape today."
