Inspired
by " museum of broken relationship" , oooooooo is a
performance by Giulio D'Anna.
In this performance the private, intimate moment of a dancers life is shown as their bodies. The
choreographer used costumers to show eight human bodies ( not the stereotype bodies of 'perfect' Ballerina's body) in their daily life with underwear to share personal experience about relationship in a confidential
atmosphere.
The
performance opens with a piano on stage in the right back-side. This piano seems to be the place where the dancers are presenting themselves. The
music gives to the audience a careless interpretation of their broken
relationship. The text on the wall behind the performers explained the
concept of the performance in a funny way by playing the game "truth or dare".
The floor is made out of black and white bands, these bands created the image of the aim
of the piece: nothing is right or wrong, there are just different ways of looking at love and relationship.
In
the first part of the performance,the dancers presented themselves about age, taste
or way of thinking. After this presentation of personalities,the performers
started to speak about their broken relationship one by one like as in a friendly conversation. Later was inevitable the beginning of an open dialogue
about love,which is still the common main topic in the people thoughts.
I perceived this performance moreover as performance for the mind and not for the eyes. It wasn't a true dance piece,the dancers were playing around on stage with
images of love between hetero couples and gay couples on stage, they are showing
the image of a society existing out of roles in a couples and the effect of
wrong love in a divorce. Mainly, in my point of view, the performance
is to enhance your mind to be in an open discussion with people that
are sharing their own experience in love.
