Aracne ARACNE is a dance and music piece inspired by Tarantism, a form of trance present in Southern Italy from ancient times till the ’70. At those times a women, bitten by the tarantula spider, would dance rhythmically for hours in order to get the poison out of her blood. A little orchestra was accompaining her (tambourine, accordion, and violin) and her small house would become the scene of a colorful rite where she becomes one with the spider and then slowly comes back to her self, and by stepping fasterand faster she wpuld kill the tarantula. Tarantism was a self made cure against isteria and repression. It has been repressedby religion and partly substituted by pills...but is feminine isteria really over? Where did it end up? | |||||

Cool Memories (in memoriam Jean Baudrillard) dance: Kathleen Delaney "Dialogue between the accordion and the dance steps, lightness of kisses and a gun - held when looking around. Words of light on the walls for the death of reality, and the illusion of the world, the void which gives strenght.Star ways turning around, stars made of light. In "Cool Memories" dance, thoughts, the rich musical research and images create a voluminous atmosphere of cured theatrality."

RoadRunner dance: Kathleen Delaney "A funambolic, contamined piece, full of quotations running on the thread of Basquiat's paintings, the american painter who used the canvas for graffiti, master of quoting and contaminating art in the New York '80. Music, graphics and dance are notes stolen from a crazy world on a multicolored notebook." Un pezzo funambolico, contaminato, pieno di citazioni corso sul filo delle immagini delle opere di Basquiat, il pittore americano che usava la tela come graffito, maestro della citazione e contaminazione nella New York degli anni 80. Musica, segno grafico e danza gli appunti presi da un mondo impazzito in un block-notes multicolore. Daniela Boari, Musicultura On Line, feb. 2004
.""Kathleen Delaney's performance refuses any temptation of sublimity and pushes on irony...contamination between languages but also contamination inside the language of dance itself lowered by materials such as clownerie, pantomime and improvisation. The piece has a video projection where pop images and metropolitan paintings offer a multeplicity of possible events and micro-dramas. Claudio Jacomucci is on stage with a larger role then that of musician.The accordion becomes a character itself and dilogues with the body and the voice of Ms Delaney: making fun one of the other in a funny respiration." "La performance di Kathleen Delaney rifiuta ogni tentazione di sublime e preme sul pedale dell'ironia...contaminando i linguaggi non soltanto tra loro, ma introducendo in essi materiale basso, sporco, triviale. La Delaney si avvale di una tecnica che attinge anche ai codici dell'improvvisazione, della pantomima e della clownerie...Claudio Jacomucci, anch'egli in scena con un ruolo interpretativo, più ampio della semplice esecuzione musicale.Il primo pezzo si avvale di una diaproiezione che fa da sottotesto visuale, suggerendo immaginin pop e rappresentazioni postmoderne, in cui la scena metropolitana, stradale, offre microdrammi molteplicità di esperienze...La fisarmonica diventa essa stessa personaggio e dialoga con il corpo e la voce della Delaney...l'una e l'altra facendosi il verso in una divertente respirazione Nicola Signorile, La Gazzetta del Mezzogiorno, Novembre 2002 Road Runner has been performed in: "Venti Ascensionali", Orvieto 2002 "Babele 3", Teatro Duse Bari 2002 "Danze d'Inverno", Firenze 2002 Teatro La Fenice Senigallia 2003 "Il suono di una mano sola" Teatro Comunale di Cagli, 2004 "L'Altra Faccia dell'America", Teatro Lauro Rossi, Macerata 2004 "Lavori in Pelle", Alfonsine, Ravenna 2004. | ||
