CHENAPAN
Chenapan is a French term of German origin that means "brat." The show wants to put on stage the games of the past, creating a strong recognition process in the public. It is an inventory of the possible ways to exist in the world in relation to each other. The audience watches the last jump race between two brats who challenge each other's strokes of genius. The primary objective is to raise awareness of a dimension of contact and game that is being lost because of the ongoing sharing virtually and not physically.
The work wants to focus on the important social changes that see the gradual dismantling of relationship dynamics.
Nourished by a strong feeling of nostalgia, the primary purpose of Chenapan is distracting to have fun, without superficiality, but with careful levity. Creative acts are expressed, as they are, in vivid paintings of intentions: no technological support, but only the bodies and their irrepressible curiosity. In this universe of spontaneous visions, there is the rope and his eternal attempt to create magical portals.
The contemporary dance project is open to children from 0 to 99 years. Freely inspired by the "slapstick movie" genre, by the comedians Laurel and Hardy and the characters Beckett Estragon and Vladimir, the show depicts a methodology on childhood games and their potential use.
