Alfonsina. Contemporary dance performance

Alfonsina

A contemporary dance performance where my art was projected in the physical space as scenery and also on the performers.
Roda Group Dance,
Choreography: Antonio Della Monica 
Scenerey: Andrea Aste

Responsible for the creation and realization of:
-Scenery
-Artwork

The show was inspired by the song Alfonsina y el mar by Violeta Parra. Antonio della Monica came one day in my studio to discuss the creation of Ballerà. I was listening that very song...he was mesmerized by it and the story of Alfonsina, a touching poet. Thus He decided to create Alfonsina first then Ballerrà. It was the beginning of our collaboration. 
here the few images I have of the show... it was the beginning of may artistic career, I didn't know it was to become my full time job and life :)
The pivotal point of the show: Alfonsina is about to committing suicide into the sea. The scenery show a video created with a sequence of painting of mine.... Alfonsina is dressing with the sea.

Te vas Alfonsina
Con tu soledad
Qué poemas nuevos
Fuíste a buscar?
Una voz antigüa
De viento y de sal
Te requiebra el alma
Y la está llevando
Y te vas hacia allá
Como en sueños
Dormida, Alfonsina
Vestida de mar
...
...
You're going away, Alfonsina
Along with your loneliness
What kind of new poems did you go looking for?
An ancient voice made of wind and salt
Is shattering your soul and taking you away
And you go there, like in a dream
Asleep, Alfonsina, dressed with the sea
