Info
“If eighteenth-century spiritualism took shape as opposition to the belief in the newly emerged techno-scientific progress seen as the only possible form of saving the world, now, with the exhaustion of certain beliefs in technological progress, we will attempt a reverse movement of relocating agency, in which we will inspire precisely technology. Spirit, any spirit, will take hold of the technological, and the cables of the stage that have hitherto sat hidden in the dark, hidden from view, but serving the magic of the stage from there, will move from the invisible to the visible spectrum and become from the technological medium, Medium. And I, using my performative skills and qualities, will see and foresee through the wires, beyond what is presented and represented, in a reading of a quintessentially invisible score of destiny.” (Andreea David)

Biography
Andreea David is a choreographer, dancer and former architect. Her interest in practices of so-called divination, manifested through performance, began in 2017 with the work Latent Show (an anagram of talent), developed with Cristian Nanculescu-Nanci. There, the performance, the performer or any form of receptive presence became a medium for what was about to happen; for something, undeniably beyond their sphere of control, but potentially taking shape through their “scenic/performative talent”. Her works and collaborations have been presented at ccn Montpellier, Blackbox Theater Oslo, HAU2 Berlin, festival del Silencio Milano, l’abri Geneva, Temp d’image and Reactor Cluj, Teatru Fix Iasi, Seoul, Bucharest etc. Currently Andreea is active in the action group Here was a forest / Here could be a forest, whose mission is to defend and save the 12 ha of land illegally reclaimed from the IOR park and subjected to repeated poisonings and fires.
About Fictions, my body
Fictions, my body addresses language in the performative space and intends to put different kinds of practices in dialogue. A range of artists are invited to explore the dynamics between body, presence and speech. The framework aims to make it possible for dance artists to meet the public, local and international artists, who also orient their choreographic practices through other arts (theory, philosophy, poetry, sound, visual arts). The invited artists propose other ways of working with language or different framings of it, beyond illustration, with the tension between representation and corporeality. If in last year’s Fictions, my body we were interested in the embodied presence that generates word, and the word that generates a new corporeality or embodiment of it, provoking a reflection on the boundary between reality and fiction, this year we extend the questions further towards what situations that language can create and constellate. What are the ways in which language, and its representation, its interpretation, its meaning produce different situations? How can it open up other readings of the reality we encounter? Can language, through its potential to reshape realities, go beyond language? What does the absence of language produce? What new meanings, definitions and perspectives do linguistic formulations bring to dance? This year’s format will include, in addition to performance presentations, language-challenged performative situations: labs, lectures, participatory frameworks and performance practices.
