HARLEKING by Ginevra Panzetti / Enrico Ticconi

Dance

HARLEKING is a demon with multiple identities.
His body expression resembles that of Harlequin of the Commedia dell’Arte, a sly servant moved by an insatiable hunger. HARLEKING’s mode of communication has a specific hypnotic quality in which its contents, often extreme and contradictory, merge to create a fluid, metamorphic system wherein anything can happen, yet all is blurred. It is reminiscent of the Grotesques, ancient wall decorations, in which monstrous figures emerge and blend in with elegant ornamental volutes.
Figures, which, although can evoke amusement, do not elicit any joy.
The work premiered in July 2018 in the frame of Open Spaces Sommer Tanz at Tanzfabrik Berlin and it has been presented among the most important European dance platform and theatres.

The performance is staged in Tokyo on the occasion of the artistic duo’s residency at the Kinosaki International Arts Center (KIAC) in Toyooka City for research and creation of their new work, entitled Insel, that was presented as work-in-progress on October 10. The production process will continue in Germany, France, and Italy, and the performance will be premiered in Europe in 2023.
