I pianti e i lamenti dei pesci fossili
Annamaria Ajmone
October 24 – 26, 2024
PREMIERE
Running time 30'
On the boundary between organic and inorganic, between life and non-life, the fossil is a material and poetic testimony to the passing of time. This performance is sparked by these reflections to explore the possibilities of a connection between bodies and times that are immeasurably distant and different from each other. The performers, Annamaria Ajmone and Veza Fernandez, work on two interfaces: the skin, the membrane that connects the interior and exterior of the body, and the air, intercrossed by voices seeking a dialogue with other modes of existence. It is a work of choreography that evokes, through a progressive stratification of bodily and vocal activities, the actual structure of the fossil.
Annamaria Ajmone is a dancer and choreographer. The focus of her work is the human body, a malleable and changeable matter. Her studies develop in a tentacular way, through different formats and durations. The performances are the result of a collective activity, created from encounters and debates in which it becomes difficult to identify the ownership of the artistic object. She presents her works at numerous dance, theater and performing arts festivals including Torino Danza (Turin), FOG (Milan) the Dance Biennale (Venice), Santarcangelo Festival, La casa encendida (Madrid), brut (Vienna), Bit-teatergarasje (Bergen), Palais de Tokyo (Paris), and far° festival et fabrique des arts vivants (Nyon). In 2015 she won the Premio Danza&Danza for “best emerging contemporary performer”. Together with artist Sara Leghissa, she created and organizes “Nobody's Indiscipline”, a platform for sharing artistic practices.
