disAppeal

disAppel is a work-in-progress piece, where the dancer tries to shift the attention and engagement of the audience within a shared space of interaction.
The concept is built around the idea of disappearance in art and the value of the individual self on the scene and on the public spot.

Concept and Dance: Lucia Mauri
Music: Ludwig Van Beethoven; SkyH1

"I reflect on the look as a social bond between people and a form of non-verbal communication" ("The Power of the Gaze" - Janne Seppanen)

Can a body disappear on the scene?
Became invisible?
Can the gaze have the leading role?

The piece investigates the disappearance, the stillness, the statue's poses and the gaze mobility. The performer will create a space where presence and absence are continually overlapping.
How the body can be invisible in its presence on stage, how the audience can react, as well, as the feeling created by the dance?
