GLASS TEARS
GLASS TEARS https://vittoriagirelli.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Vittoria_Girelli_GlassTears.mp4#t=1 A famous picture by the American photographer Man Ray shows a close-up of a woman’s face turned upwards, with drops of glass placed on her cheeks to imitate tears. Glass tears – a frozen emotion. Starting from this image, the choreography gives tears a different, but now moving form. The audience is transported […]
SOSPESI
SOSPESI https://vittoriagirelli.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Vittoria_Girelli_Sospesi.mp4#t=3 Inspired by The Birds by Aristophanes, a space is envisioned on the border between heaven and earth, hovering (in Italian “sospesi”) between the earthly and heavenly realms. The stage features large architectural elements that are understood as a further development of space. Like an embrace of the sky that draws all living beings […]
IN ESISTO
IN ESISTO https://vittoriagirelli.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Vittoria_Girelli_In_Esisto.mp4#t=1 From Dante’s visions to Dan Flavin’s moods, from Carlo Rovelli’s theory of white holes to James Turrell’s luminous cracks in space – the transition from blindness to light, from night-time blackness to dawn, is one of the most impressive experiences that art and science have attempted to explore. Since vision is related […]
FORMORIA
FORMORIA https://vittoriagirelli.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Vittoria_Girelli_Formoria_Trailer_low.mp4#t=3.5 A choreography developed after being inspired by the material works of Alberto Burri. Burri uses unconventional materials such as plastics, cracks, metals, intervening destructively and combining them violently to create ever-new compositions. Collages and assemblages made with fabrics, sack scraps, rusty nails and burnt wood. What is most fascinating is the way Burri […]
SELF-DECEIT
SELF-DECEIT https://vittoriagirelli.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Vittoria_Girelli_Self-deceit_-trailer-.mp4#t=6 Self-Deceit takes its title from a series of self-portraits by Francesca Woodman, captured in Rome in 1978. In these photographs, Woodman’s body appears and disappears, creating an elusive sense of presence.Mirrors are used as symbols of self-reflection, while the surrounding environment acts as camouflage, blurring the line between body and space. At times, […]
KINEOGRAPH
KINEOGRAPH https://vittoriagirelli.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Vittoria_Girelli_Kineograph_trailer-.mp4#t=1 This choreographic work, created for Noverre, features five dancers (three men and two women). The group sequences evoke interwoven forms that resemble a chain, an image inspired by the reliefs and sculptures depicting the damned souls in Dante’s Inferno. The choreography is deeply influenced by the plasticity of Dante’s visions, particularly images such […]
CHRYSALIS
CHRYSALIS The butterfly effect was the main inspiration behind this work. It is a concept from chaos theory that suggests small, seemingly insignificant actions or events can lead to significant and unpredictable consequences. The term comes from the idea that the flap of a butterfly’s wings in one part of the world could, through a […]
