OPERABIANCO’s work originates from processes of constant transmission between its two authors: a choreographer and a director/visual artist exchange their own materials and questions, which in turn come from other authors, artists, works.
Quotation is a means of knowing and deep connection for OB with what – out of reach – is no longer there or is not here.
In the same way, quotation is the paradigma of their scenic creation: in the project Trickster it is the centre of their compositional assumption. It is the means by which to recreate a language, along the fine line between the true copy and the need of breaking up the formal structure, giving space to the vital force of mo(ve)ment.
Here the transmission is double, or triple (considering the passing of the materials to the performer), and it generates a mirror game, extended to the observers: on this occasion in Tuscania, sources and techniques of the performance will be shared, but in the final show they will be no longer visible but in the echo of the performer’s body.
