Where does it go when it sets out?
No one knows.
Where did it come from? From very near and very far.
When will it stop? If you are lucky as you live.
What is it expecting from you? Nothing or everything.
Francesca and Eric work since 20 years to create bridges between their very different cultures and perpetuate the incredible richness of the Vodun culture, in which music and the dancing body become channels for the impalpable .They research ways to make this transformative state accessible while respecting and protecting what is not sharable.
The piece tells of their journey, the patient weaving, the leaps of faith, the burdens, the joys, the falls and the risings.
Out of Exhaustion
a performative learning process
Concept and performance: Manuela Martella, Francesca Pedullá
original music: Alessandro Bartolena
A sequence in motion repeated over a long time period without variations except those dictated by the necessities inherent to the repetition itself. The sequences of movement will be chosen only a few minutes before the performance. Consequently we do not know what to expect. Neither will we improvise as we will discipline ourselves to remain faithful our choice.
Where is the creative act?
It is in the availability of the body-mind to face exhaustion, to negotiate the urgencies that will manifest and to cope with continuous and inevitable process of adaptation. In this process vulnerability is implicit, whereas looking for authenticity is a choice.
