Claudia Castellucci - Fisica dell’aspra comunione
Description
Fisica dell’aspra comunione is a dance paced through a pattern of movements derived from Catalogue d’Oiseaux, composed for piano by Olivier Messiaen between 1956 and 1958, after his lengthy observation and annotation of birds’ songs on the pentagram. Their free vocal emissions, with their unpredictable, impossible-to-memorize rhythms, lead to a contemplative and non-mensural interpretation of dance.
Claudia Castellucci
“Notes on dance.
Dance was the intuition to create a profoundly silent movement.
I established the specific discipline in the immense chapter of time, between its hermetic closures and disproportionate openings. I neither sought nor found anything, in tradition, not out of hubris, but due to a truly primitive access. I relied on music alone as the source of the rhythm to follow. My admiration for gymnastics led me to ask experts about the physiological rudiments of being and human movement. A sense of duty towards the performing arts led me to create a school, and then a company”.
