Sylphidarium - Maria Tagloni On The Ground

The International Theater Festival MESS | Performance

01 Oct / 22:00
  1. |

This performance is an autopsy of classical ballet, transformed and hybridized by gymnastics, acrobatics and bodybuilding, presenting an aerobic finale, modeled on Jane Fonda’s keep-fit videos...

With spatial silver outfits, it is happening in the midst of a white scene that wants to repeat the dazzling effect of twirling tutus. 

The fantasy connects with the ironic dismantling of balletic scenarios, of the story of Adolphe Nourrit, as the upward leaps fight against the disarticulation of the erect posture or freeze in tableaux that seem to stop time in a hybrid frame between the past, today and the future.

This is glowing work, supported by the highly mobile music composed by Francesco Antonioni and the iridescent, real, slightly crepuscular and imaginative lighting by Fabio Sajiz. A reflection on the forms of tradition in order to draw a mutant body, surpassing stereotypes typical of the “contemporary” genre, to venture into uncharted territories that go beyond the etiquette of predefined shapes and also that of contamination, in search of its generative urgency for expression.
