# 3
Kytos cell
in potere translation from ancient locution with german origin “à bandon”, from which the French “abandonner” comes, from which the Italian “abbandonare” comes.
Division/separation/abandonment/leaving
Uselessness of the individual, left out of the relation between him and the external world.
A reduced, restricted field of action.
Separated, lonely, broken up cell.
Protection/exposition.
Motion/stillness.
Action/emptiness.
Two halves cages.
Two separated halves presuppose a unity.
Two twins halves presuppose an identity.
There’s no unity.
There’s no identity.
Kytos goes toward the nothing, toward the unpersonality because of unlessness.
There’s no possibility of change: the figure can be action or glance, show or spectator.
Odyssey of stillness
project of creation by steps
The standing journey. The escape that doesn’t find the wayStanding motion, the energy self-generates, self-nourishes and flows inside.
Perfect / imperfect. Contraddiction of oxymorus.
The initial impulse for this project is "The notebook, the proof, the third lie: three novels" by Agota Kristof, but my research has gone beyond Kristof’s novel, individuating some themes of interest:
symbiotic being twins / excellent couple / indivisibility of the double / unstable equilibrium
siamese being twins / freaks / eye-spy
division / separation
multiplication / clonation / omologation
cryptophasy
excercises to strenghthen the mind through physical work / repetition /
perfection / overcoming our limits.
These themes, amenable to some variations, will be faced separately (one by one) and/or uniformly, generating some steps showed to the audience. Each step will have a different title and modality of intervention: video installations, sound installations, performances.
- odissea dell’immobilità # 0 “HaccaH ”; a performance for children from 3 to 5 years old, in which we worked around symbiotic being twins / excellent couple / indivisibility of the double / unstable equilibrium / necessary separation (début: March 2004, festival Meli Mome, Reims, France)
- odissea dell’immobilità # 1 “Monocore”, hinged on siamese being twins / freaks / eye-spy / cryptophasy (preview: September 2004, festival Carte blanche à Perceuse, Lausanne; début: October 2004, festival Torinodanza Focus 6 Cantieri Italiani, Torino).
- odissea dell’immobilità # 2 “Double-face”, first study’s phase on staying. An installation of two bodies in a shop-window. (May 2005, festival Interplay Focus 8, Torino).
- odissea dell’immobilità # 3 “Kytos in potere” (September 2005, Festival Crisalide, Forlì).
- odissea dell’immobilità # 4 “ Chrónoshomo ” dedicated to repetition / perfection / overcoming our limits. (July 2006 Drodesera>Centrale Fies).
