AGiTA
Performance · Berlin Premiere by Mariagiulia Serantoni, Andrea Parolin
In the frame of Fold - Resonant Threads Tickets
What ignites movement? Desire, necessity, reaction? “AGiTA” is a choreographic concert that unfolds a metaphorical universe with sonic and kinetic frequencies.
In their interdisciplinary dialogue of machine-generated sounds and those made by the body, Mariagiulia Serantoni & Andrea Parolin allow fragmented music, movement self-discovery and primordial vocal expression to collide - a convergence in which emotions are transformed into a vibrant celebration.
“AGiTA” creates a personal language of pleasure, fantasy and the necessity to act beyond fixed definitions and codes. A choreographic science fiction of the body for the body, a search for alternative ways of existing in the world.

Content Note
The performance lasts about about 60 minutes. There will be short phases of relative darkness in the space. During some phases of the performance bass frequencies and high-pitch sounds are used. During some minutes of the performance a flash light/glitch is used occasionally. Some movements could be perceived as strong emotion or physical discomfort. One performer will be seated amongst the audience without interacting with them. One performer will approach the audience and move through them quietly and without touching nor requesting direct interactions.
