MARRAFA is an extract of the piece EM·NA
SYNOPSIS
"Where our touch begins, we are.
I am.
You are.
We are?
It is an occupation of reality, a conquest.
You look for the familiar faces.
You hesitate, lacking friction, and you accept,
sometimes unsuccessfully.
The inhabited body.
The enigmatic body.”
ORIGINAL IDEA
The piece EM-NA is based on the idea of vibration as a manipulative element. It is an investigation into "subcutaneous acoustics" through vibration and the resulting silence in the body of the other.
The relationship between the performers goes through different states: compressing, stretching, changing the rhythm of their own vibration, and all this starting from their individual physicality.
The scenic composition of the bodies shows the different states and spaces of the same vibration through a contemporary, naked, raw and everyday physicality.
The strong presence of the Japanese world and spirit creates an aesthetic full of meaningful and forceful details.
The duration of each movement almost seems that of a thought, purpose or reflection.
The piece thus seeks to weave together order, chaos, passivity and the echo of the mind projected onto the changing body.
A "momentum" about how full and overflowing the human mind is and the need for silence.
EM-NA delves into our animal, instinctive and intuitive reality.
EM-NA talks about what the body understands. Self-pirating.
