platform A35

Ritornello is based on a structure that is the first track of the work of the composer William Basinski, “The Disintegration Loops”.
Basinski, in an attempt to transfer into digital format some recordings made on magnetic tapes, noticed that these tapes, deteriorated over time, had a strange effect on the audio track: a motif reiterated to infinity but gradually consuming itself.
Starting from the work of Basinski, I worked on repetition, on reproducing a state of mind up to exasperation.
The music of Basinski returns during the work, even if interrupted by some pop songs and in the same way the dance returns, re-proposed as a loop.

Greta Francolini (1993) is a performer and choreographer, active for three years on the contemporary scene. She is interested in fashion as a field of research and innovation and as a use of the body for demonstrative and exhibitionistic purposes. In 2016 she was with Annamaria Ajmone at the “Biennale College” in Venice. In 2017 she was one of the finalists of DNAppunti coreografici (Romaeuropa Festival) with her work Ritornello. In 2017 she was selected for “Half a House”, part of the European project “N.O.W. New Open Working Process for the performing arts” presented within Fabbrica Europa. In the same year she participated in the “ISA Inteatro Summer Academy” Program in Polverigi. With her solo Sapore she was selected for the 2017 edition of “Nuove Traiettorie XL – percorsi di formazione per giovani autori | azione Network Anticorpi XL”.

DNAppunti coreografici 2017 finalist project

platform A35 develops in the new space of Fabbrica Europa, PARC ex Scuderie Granducali in Florence, an unconventional place.
The project is based on the idea of presenting young choreographers, Italian and not only, whose research shows new creative processes, but also the changing society that is necessarily reflected in them.
