Research residency and start of writing music and composition in correlation with the choreographic work. Technical work on acoustic and amplified diffusion of the spinet and modular electronics.
What is a picture of rage? What movement does the word rage inspire?
I see it in the blue color and intoxicating smell of garbage fires at night in the bush. I see it in the perpetual crash of a river in flood, or an ocean. I hear it in the cries of an anarchic crowd, in the ceiling of a thunderbolt.
And when that music sinks into the concrete wasteland, I can hear the witches' voices coming.
And I remember rabies disease, the urgency in which I saw people travel for a vaccine before hydrophobia, and death. The urgency to kill all the dogs.
The body reappears resilient in the face of hypnotic danger, in the face of what is irreversible.
For our bodies have disappeared; under a (sanitary) bell, we have ceased to molt, we have mutated, rubbing shoulders with the shapeless norm that we reflect in the smooth pond (the screen). Comedies are numb, words consumed by semblance and idolatry.
Rages are latent, however, and we're looking for a flag to raise that doesn't belong to a party or an amicable faith.
Rage is not hatred or anger.
"The rage starts there, with those big, gray funerals." - Pier Paolo Pasolini

Anna Gaïotti
Performer, musician, tap dancer, writer
Anna Gaïotti creates a choreographic and musical style that links text and body. She aims to confront the question of sexual emancipation, doubts about norms, the relevance of fiction to reality, the construction and deconstruction of personal and shared identities, and life in the face of death. The body is first and foremost a medium for publishing poetics, a way of militating, embracing humanities and inhumanities.
She dialogues and collaborates with artists from the experimental music and visual arts scenes, and enjoys creating hybrid performances.
