SILENZIO!

Choreography: Ramona Nagabczyńska

Choreographer Ramona Nagabczyńska delves into the genre of opera to tell a story about femininity limited by conventions, along with the elements accompanying it for centuries – the power of the voice, tragicomedy, and splendour symbolically contained in the artists’ baroque dresses. The production SILENZIO! is asking questions about the legitimacy of women’s social roles. The performers build a story based on contrasts: when the audience expects them to start dancing, they freeze; when the audience count on a moving libretto, they receive a patchwork of abstract Italian phrases. The piece is full of humour and plays with expectations and what is appropriate.
