BEFORE THE NAME
2016
MANIFESTA 11 - Performance program, Cabaret der Künstler – Zunfthaus Voltaire
with Francesca Banchelli, Jonathan Lahey Dronsfield, Pier Luigi Tazzi
dancers: Mélanie Gobet, Sabina Aeschlimann
original music: Emiliano Zelada
Before the name is a performance inspired by the text of Alain Badiou, La danse comme métaphore de la pensée, part of the "Petit manuel d'inesthétique" written by the French philosopher in 1998, which considers the relationship between dance and thought in its germinal and revolutionary phase, associated to the event. It is a choral performance formed by dancers, narrators and musicians, whose encounter and sharing of space and time, organised within a tight script, generates a series of events. The movement collides with a real entourage of tensions, connected to life and experience: dance, as a concept, dissolves into travel, life, debris, objects, images, teaching and meeting, in its closer aspects to becoming, and its transitionary state between body and mind. In the various versions of the performance and in the drawings / study of the work, there is always the presence of a sculptural object that recalls both a mountain and an abstract element; this element embodies the ambivalence within which the event resides, that is, the existence between what is named, the mountain, and what is still unnamed, matter. "Dance plays out the event before the event's nomination." cit. Alain Badiou. Both the central figures, the narrator and the dancer can be first matter, then mountain, first form and then soul, first body and then intellect, first name and then nothing. While the dance, until their last extreme, and only alluded, metamorphosis.
