Julidans - Insel

Uninhabited island

Two castaways are stranded on a deserted island. They are flanked by two black-clad alter egos that begin to overshadow their movements. On this deserted island, they encounter themselves and enter into battle with themselves.

The island as the metaphor for isolation. Ginevra Panzetti and Enrico Ticconi, considered among Italy's most exciting dance makers, create a state of detachment with Insel – an immersion in the deep layers of the self.

Shipwrecked

A thin strip of sand falls from the sky like an hourglass. The new ground literally forms on the playing surface. Although the castaways initially only seem to care about their own skin and express themselves with force, a joint ritual is created in interaction with their shadows: from isolation to connection. Is this the emergence of a new community?

The sound creation of texts recited in Italian is supported by songs by tenor Gavino Murgia, specialized in the traditional cantu a tenore, a polyphonic singing technique from the pastoral culture of Sardinia. An ancestral voice seems to emanate from the island itself, making the earth tremble and setting its temporary inhabitants in motion.

Panzetti and Ticconi create dance that is steeped in political, historical and philosophical reflection on the symbolism of tangible places. After the garden, the town square and the city, it is now the island's turn. 'The castaway's collision with a desert island is what each of us experiences as we delve into ourselves and encounter our dark side.'
