PLAYFULNESS
PLAYFULNESS is a contemporary dance and physical theater performance, loosely inspired by the splastick movie genre, comedians Laurel and Hardy and the Beckettian characters Estragon and Vladimir, the show stages a methodology on some childhood games and the their potential use, generating in the audience a process of recognition. The goal is to raise awareness of a dimension of contact and play that is being lost due to the constant virtual rather than physical sharing. Francesco and Maxime are interested on a humorous, physical and committed body research.
