Dance: Feminist Futures – Trasmissióne
July 27 @ 4:00 pm - 5:00 pm
Transmissióne (Transmission)- In Treccani dictionary is: the operation, the action, the fact of transmitting, and then it continues by giving comfortable examples: Transmission of an asset, of a property but adds of an inheritance and we already can feel a different flavor in reading and pronouncing this words. Then we can read on Treccani transmission of hereditary characters, in biology, genetic transmission (…) and at the end comes somber side: by contagion of a disease, of an infection; and then concludes with a relaunch from the penumbra transmission of thought, in metapsychics, a phenomenon that is otherwise controversial (…)
The basic question could be simple: how a choreography designed for a disabled body is transmitted? What happens if other bodies inherit it?
But can this question from the comfortable contours of aesthetics and technique really be so simple?
If I transmit to you my gestures, born of fire and anger, what do you inherit?
Can one inherit another body’s anger?
What is the connection between transmitting and translating?
Between translating and betraying?
What will become my funeral song if it is your voice that intones it?
Chiara Bersani is an Italian performer and author active in the field of performing arts, research theater and contemporary dance. As an interpreter and as a director / choreographer moves through different languages and visions. Her works, presented in international circuits, are born as creations in dialogue with spaces of different nature and are mainly aimed at a “neighbor” to the scene. Her research as an interpreter and author is based on the concept of the “Political Body” and the creation of practices aimed at training its presence and action. The “manifest” work of this research is Gentle Unicorn, a performance included in the Aerowaves platform. For the rigor in embodying this study she is awarded the UBU Award for best new actress / performer under 35 for 2018. In August 2019, during the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, Gentle Unicorn and Chiara Bersani won the first prize in the dance category of the Total Theater Awards. Chiara Bersani is an artist of apap – Advancing Performing arts project – Feminist Future, a project co-funded by the Creativnde Europe Programme of the European Union, until 2024
