Ki/Synesthesia (SCinestesia)
This work is the result of collaboration between Cia de Danças de Diadema and Núcleo Performa.
From the Sense of the Body to the Body of Sense
The first motivation for the creation of “SCinestesia” came from the
animation by Polish film director, screenwriter and cameraman,
Zbigniew Rybszynski, entitled “Tango”. This being a work of
surrealist matrix, it resists any objective interpretation and such
This fact generated transformations that accompanied our entire
creative process, from the first stimuli produced by animation to
video to and composition of the choreographic work in its current
version. He wasa long journey, starting with the dramaturgical
partnership with Matteo Bonfitto. This partnership brought something
that surpassed the
appearances, creating tensions with representation as well as
predictable and linear narratives. Another important collaboration took
place through dialogue with Luciano Sallum, a musician who has
already composed for this Company on other occasions. In the fields
of scenography and costumes, the presence of Júlio Dojcsar and
Bruna Recchia came to crown the creation process, bringing it even
closer to the universe surreal desired.
The choice of the title SCinestesia was not at all casual, it
emerged from the exploration of ambivalences that permeate the
senses of the words Synesthesia with “S” and Kinesthesia with “C”. Such senses, once materialized in the bodies and in the scene, they dissolve
the borders between 'inside' and 'outside', 'internal' and 'external',
'objective' and 'subjective', 'conscious' and 'unconscious', thus aligning
with the deepest assumptions of the surrealist movement. seen here
as a filter and as a catalyst for experiences, surrealism is here
a device that articulates paradoxes, intensifies contradictions and
distills affections in order to make us glimpse the invisible interstices
that connect unadapted beings and irreconcilable realities. the ten
beings that give life to SCinesthesia materialize at the same time a
profound interweaving between performance and contemporary
dance,through which issues and impulses go beyond the personal dimension.
SCinestesia was nominated for the APCA 2021 PRIZE - Best On-line Show.
Synopsis of choreographic work
The co-existence of differences and the crossing of realities. All
it can change from the slightest disorder. It's in this frame
that events come to life in SCinestesia. in front of the game
that is established between the concreteness of the actions and constructions of the imaginary, an unusual question arises: would they,
such actions and constructions – and ourselves – be transformable?
