INVISIBILI
Aurélien Bory • French première • Theatre/Dance
In Palermo, in the footsteps of Pina Bausch, Aurélien Bory has combined theater, dance and visual art featuring a vast 15th century fresco.
Aurélien Bory is offering a tribute to the capital of the island of Sicily, a land with a history of different civilizations and cultures. There he discovered The Triumph of Death, an extraordinary fresco measuring approximately 6 meters (20 feet) square and which he adopted for the stage backdrop, challenging the very forces of life. Actors and dancers enact contemporary dramas where even the younger generation must confront the prospect of death; such is the experience of migrants driven to travel across the sea, and the experience of a woman battling disease. Invisibili creates a dialogue, moving from a tableau verging on dance to a macabre circle dance, a dialogue with the 34 characters from the fresco, endowing visible shape and sade on death and time, both being devoid of shape and shade.
