„W drodze – On the Way” / Zespół New Folk / Anna Gilla-Małuj / / Polska / 40 min.

„On the Road” is a dance spectacle prepared on the occasion of the jubilee of the New Folk group, which works at the Youth Palace in Warsaw and is led by dancer and choreographer Anna Gilla-Małuj. The inspiration for the performance was a Norwegian proverb: only those who wander, find new paths. Our journey together began in 2011. During that time, each of us has discovered not only new paths, but also who we are, where we are heading, what is important to us. „On the Road” tells the story of the journey each of us takes as we walk through life, a journey both metaphorical and practical: relationships, rites of passage, inner transformations, but also exploring the world, trips to places both familiar and less familiar. It is a miniature of experiences and adventures from their 10 years together.

„Apollo et Dafne” – Zappulla DMN company / Italy / 30 omin.

This show, based on the myth of Apollo and Daphne, re-proposes the archetypes of the couple relationship, leading to awareness of the mechanisms of falling in love and rejection and creating a mirror of the consciousness of those who the representation. For a greater dramaturgical depth of the characters the choreographer subjected the protagonists to a sort of psychoanalysis of the couple. The pièce articulates several levels of representation investigating the relationship between man and woman and between Apollo and Daphne; the characters of the myth and what the myth refers to at a deep level in the psyche of the artists who represent the scene communicate; the artists become the medium of a powerful synthesis that involves the spectator in a different way. The sound universe that accompanies the dancers is the result of an innovative research that employs experimental technologies through the capture and digital processing of sound. The scenography is virtual and interactive.
