performance, italian première
iFeel2, the new choreography of Marco Berrettini, is a sheer object of existential warm-up. Or a philosophical quarrel in the form of a danced battle without truce nor end stop. Marie-Caroline Hominal is Raymonda*, Marco Berrettini is Taylor**. A dance starts... They move about in a very special pas de deux, like an insightful sleepwalking: the two exhaust and reload each other before your very eyes. And there is a touch of critical anthropology in their ritornellos. After the shows iFeel (2009) inspired by anger in modern society, and Sì,Viaggiare (2010) about a new communion among human beings, iFeel2 stages the mutations, the evolutions and metamorphosis of individuals within the society. Berrettini took inspiration both from the book You Must Change Your Life by german philisopher Peter Sloterdijk and from Carl Gustav Jung’s archetype of the shadow that signifies the dark aspects in us. Acrobatic dance virtuosity and spirituality flirt with psychanalisis, religions and interior research. iFeel2 is a mix of this multitrack life, accompanied by the poppish sounds created by Berettini and Samuel Pajand and other surprises.
(*Raymonda is the protagonist of a ballet in three acts, four scenes with an apotheosis, choreographed by Marius Petipa and presented by the Imperial Ballet at St. Petersburg in 1898. ** Paul Taylor is a pioneer of modern american dance who worked on issues such as war, piety, spirituality, sexuality, morality and mortality. He created dances with dysfunctional families, disillusioned idealists, imperfect religious leaders, angels and insects.)
