within Mappe del Nuovo Mondo

electrica /ecosi’stɛma/ is a performance that investigates the relationship between plant bodies, human bodies and technology, using the languages of live electronic music, contemporary dance and biodata sonification.

In this site-specific version, within the spaces of Manifattura Tabacchi, the research transforms, expands and shatters in form and duration to become a performance installation. In this guise, In electrica /ecosi’stɛma/ presents itself as a suspended, immersive and mutable space-time that sees the co-presence of visible bodies, the human, vegetable and technological ones, and invisible bodies, the sonic, energetic, and vibrational ones.

The work can be traversed in a free mode of fruition: it is possible to enter and leave as many times as one wishes, position oneself where one prefers, and experience together with the performers the present ecosystem, predisposing oneself to active listening to the self and the outside self.

Flavia Zaganelli, dance artist and performer, trained independently, following the work of international choreographers and artists. In 2017 she completed an intensive dance and performance training period in Berlin, attending SMAHS #9 and graduating from the Tanzfabrik School of Contemporary Dance. Since 2013 she has been a performer for Italian and international artists. From 2017 she began to create choreographic works in collaboration with other artists and then embarked on a more independent path. In 2021 she presented at Danza Urbana The Game We Play, a choreographic work on the theme of the game, and INVISIBILIA, thanks to the support of the Bando Abitante of the Compagnia Virgilio Sieni. In 2023 she created electrica /ecosi’stɛma/ that was presented at Spazio Kor within the season curated by Chiara Bersani and Giulia Traversi.
