Futurismo - SLIVOLUMNIA - TORRENTE N.3
It is believed that when a new form of dance rises, a demon or a god take possession of a body, ready to fill it with its rhythms, energy and substance.As far as Marinetti is concerned, this demon is the machine. The fascination of the machine for the futurists lays in the fact that it is a living object. The machine is an extension of the human skills, acts on its own, and becomes for the man who created it an ideal of perfection: a model to follow in order to fell ones own energies modified, transformed and multiplied.
Marinetti theorized the futurist dance in his Manifesto of the Dance published in 1917. Ten years later Giannina Censi adopted his theory and worked with him: she transformed into dance futurist poems and pictures, impressions from the war, experiences of flight, natural phenomena and scenes of everyday life.
From the gestural point of view her dances can be defined onomatopoeic. From the structural point of view they are "free-words". The body is a sculpture in movement that acts according to the images perceived.
Il tamburo di fuoco - futurismo
THE DRUM OF FIRE
by Filippo Tommaso Marinetti
Original re-interpretation in form of scenic concert
by Enrico Frattaroli
The Drum of Fire was first performed in Pisa Teatro Verdi on May 22nd, 1922. On December 10th of the same year it was performed, in Czech, in Prague at the Stavovsk� Theatre. Today, more than seventy years after its first performance, the "African play" by Marinetti follows a similar itinerary, with its first absolute revival in Prague at the Za branou II theatre after an Italian preview at Teatro Alle Vigne of Lodi.
I have seen The Drum of Fire, African play of heat, colour, noises and smells, as a great score for voices, soprano, percussion and lights, as a concert where the text becomes a score for character-voices, sound-voices, noise-voices, colour-voices. (S. Barbarini)
