Notte Nera Festival, 18-25th August Workshop Residency & performance "Underground Love", Italy

SUMMER WORKSHOP RESIDENCY & PERFORMANCE: at Notte Nera festival, Serra dei Conti, italy. With Javier Cura & Moss Beynon Juckes: 18- 25th August http://javiercura.com/notte-nera-summer-residency/ http://mossbeynonjuckes.com/notte-nera-residency/ "humanity that treats the world in such a way as to "use and throw away", will also treat itself similarly as trash. " G. Anders, "Man is an antique" "I died as mineral and became a plant. I died as plant and rose to animal. I died as animal and I was a man. Why should I fear? When was I less by dying?" Rumi In our present industralized society we can observe a similar relation between the way we refuse the presence of death, and the refusal to see what happens with our rubbish. As if the utilitarian way of consuming a product has inflitrated the way we consider our life and the life of those who will come after. In our reality, we are not interested to know what happens with the "object" after its "useful time period". In this way we leave as inheritance a mountain of material and symbolic rubbish. The refusal to percieve what really happens, creates the rubbish and modifies our perception of life, considering it as a " useful product" with a linear finite time - If we can consider life, instead of linear and finished, as cyclical and infinite and if we can consider our existence as a part and not a whole, death would become a moment of transformation and transmutation, and an open possibility for another being or thing. Our workshop and performance will recreate a joyful funeral conceived as a Transformation Artifice. We will embody our creative capacity to transform ourselves, the space, objects, sound and light through: -the practice of Contact Improvisation, tango, martial arts and physical theatre. -voice in movement: we will create sound spaces, rythms, melodies, fragments of dialogues and story telling. -the use of alternative light sources and recicled objects: we will create different spaces and animate imaginary objects This 7 days workshop will end in a spectacle called " Underground love or a funeral elegy for a consumer", performed at the Notte Nera Festival(www.nottenera.it). Particpation in the performance is not compulsory and each participant can collaborate in the creative process in its own personal way.
