Theatrical genre: Dance theatre Performance

“One act on identity” is a music theater performance for 7 performers (5 musicians and 2

dancers) that wants to create a journey across different kind of comunications and relationships

between individuals.

For example, how can we take a text as a starting point for an improvisation? How can we build a

character starting from a movement and a sound? How can we go from the situation of non

comunication to the chamber music?

During the performance each chatacter will evolve, grow and transform through different situations

and dynamics, and at the end of the cicle they will all find their final identity, as individuals and as

group. There is no an “arrival” point, but simply a flow of events where each of the characters and

each element will grow, transform and find new shapes and relations with the others and the space.

Like in every journey there will be different phases:

• Chaos: new identities and characters are forming, new things are popping up in

the space, but they seem to don't be aware of each other.

• Centralization: now the space is filled with different identities, they will start

to aknowledge each other: they are not anymore alone.

• Big Bang: a turning point

• Synchronicity: a group is formed, dance and music are following the scores of

a piece that is bringing all together on the same page: “Synchronicity”

• Entropy: sounds and echos are remaining in the space, the circle ends with the

feeling that we found our own “identity” through the journey, but there is always

the space for a possible new cicle.
