MONJOUR<\/h1>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”20″][vc_separator color=”black”][vc_empty_space height=”20″][vc_column_text]\u201cOvercoming the border between you and me: getting to meet you, to never get lost in the crowd again. […] Finding a place where being together is possible. […] Something that will involve becoming alive with one another, and holiday will be possible\u201d. J. Grotowski (\u00ab Jour Saint \u00bb et autres textes)<\/em><\/p>\n

MONJOUR<\/strong> is a performative device that focuses on the reflection about power and about a game of manipulation between the performer and the audience.<\/p>\n

MONJOUR<\/strong> is a \u201ccontemporary cartoon\u201d, made of bodies in flesh and blood, led by Silvia Gribaudi\u2019s humor with Matteo Maffesanti\u2019s visual complicity, by Francesca Ghermandi\u2019s drawings, Leonardo Benetollo\u2019s stage light design, and by acrobatic performers: Riccardo Guratti, Timoth\u00e9e-A\u00efna Meiffren, Salvatore Cappello, Nicola Simone Cisternino, and Fabio Magnani. What is the interdependence between the audience and the performers? What is the mutual responsibility between an audience member and an artist?<\/p>\n

MONJOUR<\/strong> is a day to exist together in disorientation. But what are we ready to give as long as we can continue to exist?<\/p>\n

MONJOUR<\/strong> consists of 2 dancers, 1 clown\/actor and 2 acrobats. The work includes choreographic practices on the relationship between body and comedy, between drawings and aesthetics in the relationship between performers and audience.<\/p>\n

In MONJOUR<\/strong> a director\/performer is in a dialogue from the audience with the performers, destructuring and reconstructing the images the audience sees during the performance, and creating a physical, comic, and choreographic virtuosity. The mise-en-sc\u00e8ne, lit up by artist Francesca Ghermandi\u2019s pop drawings, marks the boundaries between artists and director, disrupts orders and roles, becomes a scream that focuses on human fragility as a strong point, fallibility as revolutionary power, the unexpected as the possibility of seeing beyond the limits.<\/p>\n

\u201cWith overwhelming humour, Gribaudi exposes the relationship between the two poles of artistic creation, reminding us of the inescapable importance of the fruition dimension.\u201d Andrea Bonzi in Startagemmi.it<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cIn Monjour Silvia Gribaudi wants to connect the stage, a kind of circus, and the audience. She is in the auditorium, with the spectators, and from time to time joins her team on stage, as a sort of mock \u2018director\u2019, to show us even more clearly what she wants to offer us. A little too often? Without too many twists and turns?Sometimes it\u2019s a vague idea that we let emerge, but discard immediately, before it even tries to get comfortable. And that\u2019s just the right thing to do.\u201d Nicolas Brizault in unfauteuilpourlorchestre.com<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cThe audience is once again enthusiastic. The show is enjoyable, we laugh at lightness, at funny movements, at teasing <\/em>each other a little, at nakedness revealed and concealed, and at that nothingness of which comedy and belly laughs <\/em>are sometimes made. Our anxieties become clownish mockery, and laughter a regenerating choral action, in which <\/em>the echo of a childlike pleasure resounds.\u201d <\/em>Rita Borga in klpteatro.it<\/em><\/p>\n
