NUDO.NUDA
ALESSANDRA CRISTIANI (Italy)
25 SEPT (FR) 20:00, Sofia Theater
nudo.nuda is the second performance from the trilogy The Physics of the Soul: Francesca Stern Woodman – a project which tells one story in several artistic languages – dance, music, light, photography. The key to the story is called Francesca Stern Woodman – an American photographer whose haunting black-and-white images revolutionized the understanding of photography in the 70’s. Woodman used mainly herself and her naked body as model. She was 22 when she committed suicide. Alessandra Cristiani’s starting point is the photographic material of Woodman – a powerful narration of the inner world of women in their most delicate transition – from puberty to early adulthood. All alone on stage with her naked body, Cristiani probes the urgency of a primary identity – the body. She follows all its dark desires, the ambiguity, the extravagance of its visions, the need to open, reveal, and just be Cristiani summons the deepest roots of life, the understanding of the authentic “me”, hidden from the eyes of the others. “You cannot see me from where I look at myself”. The audience is made witness to an intense inner search in progress, not just spectator of a choreography.

Actress Alessandra Cristiani entered the world of dance after a personal exploration of the physical training of actors. She studied contemporary dance, mime techniques, breathing and posture, Qi gong, ideokinesis and Butoh dance (with the phenomenal Masaki Iwana). The latter two were a powerful inspiration – Cristiani wrote an experimental thesis on the subject, created (together with Lios dance company) the international Butoh performance Trasform’azioni, and her first solo was in the field of White Butoh – inspired by Iwana’s dance research Non si può rubare la luna. She has danced in Italy, Bosnia, France and the USA with Silvia Rampello’s troupe Habille d’eau. “Originality” and “creative approach” are the most common award categories in her dossier. Her last shows are the trilogy Io è un otro, nudo.nuda, Miele from the project The Physics of the Soul – Francesca Stern Woodman.
