as part of SEOUL AUTUMN FESTA 2026
That’s All Folks! is conceived as an ideal continuation of the previous work by Damiano Ottavio Bigi and Alessandra Paoletti, Un Discreto Protagonista, forming the second chapter in a trilogy that brings dance, science, and myth into dialogue.
Inspired by the concept of a black hole’s event horizon, it tells of the physical vertigo of being pulled into the unknown, where no central axis or fixed perspective remains, and everything dissolves into a flow of constant becoming.
Four characters are suspended in an undefined, ephemeral space – a sort of grey zone that marks the point of no return on a journey toward a non-place and non-time. Here, they confront a liminal dimension, an intersection of rationality and irrationality, which draws them into contact with their unconscious memory.
Bigi Paoletti Fritz Company is an artistic project and dance-theatre company founded in 2020 by Damiano Ottavio Bigi and Alessandra Paoletti. They met in Istanbul in 2013, where their collaboration began with Yuvaya Dönmek, Babam için – Back Home, to My Father, a work created for the Istanbul Municipal Theatre.
Their artistic language moves between dance, theatre and visual arts, focusing on compositional, dramaturgical and kinaesthetic structures often inspired by scientific principles. Their work explores multilayered narrative worlds where body, space and time interact, extending performance beyond the body into landscapes, architecture and site-specific environments.
