OLA MACIEJEWSKA Bombyx Mori

La Poderosa brings Hacer Historia(s) to the Mercat, a series that wants to look back in time because of the need and the desire to re-construct the past through its own eyes: BODY, MEMORY, RECORD, transmission, history. In this context we find a revision by the international choreographer Ola Maciejewska, who works with the desire to record and experiment in order to recreate one of the most important choreographers of the twentieth century, Loie Fuller. Fuller was a North American dancer, actress, producer and writer, noted for her special interest in visual effects.

Ola Maciejewska presents Bombyx Mori, where she looks at movement as a result of the interactions between the body and things (lights, materials, sound). She employs three dancers to explore the limits of human capacity and the capacity of objects in action. By way of a complementary activity, there will be a public conversation between Ola Maciejewska and the dramaturge and dance theorist Roberto Fratini.
