Panzetti / Ticconi

AeReA

Choreography: Ginevra Panzetti & Enrico Ticconi

Strong, powerful and vigorous, but light, elegant and aerial at the same time are the movements of the flags that become extensions of Ginevra Panzetti’s and Enrico Ticconi’s bodies. The piece AeReA focuses on the flag as an object which has always functioned in principle to express ideas of belonging and separation, marking the distinction between a hypothetical us and them. Silvery grey, the flags are cleansed of signs and symbols, brought to their plastic essence. A point zero without connotations in which everything can emerge, begin or disappear. As if belonging to a near or remote past, spectral figures take form through a score of unveilings, evoking a close and ancient brotherhood between two textile objects, flag and shroud.

The performance is supported by Istituto Italiano di Cultura di Colonia / MiC-General direction of performing arts.
