Show
La foresta trabocca
Antonio Tagliarini
November 14 – 16, 2024
PREMIERE
Running time 50'
Antonio Tagliarini, a performer, writer and director who has appeared at the principal festivals and theaters in Italy and around the world, presents the first performance of the final phase of his research project that began with Un’andatura un po’ storta ed esuberante. Emersione n. 1, presented at FOG 2023. In La foresta trabocca, whose title is a reference to the latest novel by the young Japanese writer Maru Ayase, Tagliarini investigates other modes of existence, up to the very threshold of transformation, in dialogue with the poet and performer Gaia Ginevra Giorgi. It is a sound-performance event that, taking the reflections of the queer theory academic Jack Halberstam as a starting point, proposes a new vision of the concept of failure as a form of freedom.
Antonio Tagliarini trained in the fields of contemporary dance and performing arts, which strongly influenced the artist’s relationship with stagecraft. He went on to study and explore the art of theater in its stricter sense. He has written and performed in various shows and performances that he has presented at festivals in Italy and abroad (winning the first prize for best show at the BE Festival in Birmingham in 2014). He is the co-author of various performance projects (with Miguel Pereira, Idoia Zabaleta, Ambra Senatore and Rimini Protokoll), and works as a performer with some of the leading figures in Italian theater. In 2007 he met Daria Deflorian and thus began an intense artistic collaboration that led to the creation of multi-award-winning theater projects in Italy and abroad (the Premio Ubu 2014 for innovation in the theater, the Critics’ Award 2015 for best foreign production in Quebec, Canada, the Premio Riccione 2019 for innovation in the theater, and the Premio Hystrio 2021 for best stage play). Antonio Tagliarini also teaches on training and tutoring projects.
