FILAR

FILAR

dance, puppets, visual poetry

Filar is a piece of contemporary dance and visual poetry that talks about the power of the relationship between bodies and objects, a relationship that develops from the distance of the threads. How to feel the other body, a puppet, in this distance?


Filar's story is that of a world that is built every day and suddenly collapses. So when there is a crisis, how can we rebuild a community and feel that we live in a web of threads and relationships?


The threads create an invisible connection between everything that happens, the threads unite us with our families, friends, or the people with whom we share paths. The threads maintain the connection in the distance.


For all audiences, age from 6 years
Genre: dance, puppets and video mapping
Space: Theater, unconventional space and street - site specific

[...] Filar is a show that literally flies into a universe of videographic signs and bodies that seek each other, to highlight lasting and inseparable links through real and imaginary threads dominated by a puppet". [...]

[...] white balloons, a puppet with very human features and many geometric paths drawn in the background, or even simply outlined in the air, for the story of imaginary flights in perennial balance between reality and fantasy. The strings of the puppet but also the invisible strings of light and space define a pattern of relationships between the performer's body and naked space, a scenographic context with which D'Ascenzi achieves interact [...]

[...] The choreographer Antonella D'Ascenzi had a vision during the recollection of the first months of the pandemic.
While she was on her roof, "the people, the birds, the antennas of the houses, were building threads." When she put her head out of the balcony, and looked out on the street, “people built a choreography to keep their interpersonal distance.” [...] Filar is the materialization of this idea, a mixture of contemporary dance and visual poetry. An opportunity where the performer uses the strings that bind her to a puppet to find what unites things, people and emotions. “If the union exists, it is because distance precedes it, and this is the double-cutting weapon of love”, she adds.. [...] In short, a family play that her author wants to connect with the experiences that parents and children shared during confinement. "Filar's story is simple, I only try to build a swing for my daughter, even so, it is destroyed".[...]
