Anna Massoni

France / Created in 2024

Anna Massoni has invited Ola Maciejewska to join her on stage. The play is a situation, a house outside. Day after day, they produce gestures that look like gestures, then forget where they came from.

Presentation

Anna Massoni, dancer and choreographer in long-term residence at the Centre National de la Danse in Pantin, invites Ola Maciejewska, a Polish artist known for her work on Loïe Fuller’s serpentine dance. Together they rehearse daily movement scores, producing gestures over and over until their very origins are forgotten. Having now become autonomous, those strangely familiar gestures make up the common grammar the two artists will use to toy with both the significant and the trivial. 

 Anna ha invitado a Ola Maciejewska a subir al escenario con ella. La obra es una situación, una casa al aire libre. Día tras día, realizan gestos que parecen gestos, luego olvidan de dónde vienen.
