FAROUT Live Arts Festival Camilla Guarino and Giuseppe Comuniello — PORNODRAMA_Trio

performance

Like listening to a person's heartbeat by resting your ear on his or her chest

PORNODRAMAis an intimate dance made up of bodies and words. The bodies tell in the first person about their experiences and perceptions in relation to each other, emptiness, space, silence and the nearby voice, while the words, ephemeral like the dance, invite the audience to relive the physical experience in a personal way. Two performers describe what their bodies experience on stage, creating a personal connection with the audience. Viewers, through headphones or by approaching the performers, can become part of the experience, as when you place your ear on a person’s chest to hear their heartbeat or bring your nose close to their skin to smell them. A LIS interpreter will also make the performance accessible to deaf people, integrating organically into the choreographic score.

The work mixes dance and dramaturgy, weaving a text into a dance of relationships. A plurality of voices offers different points of view on the stage. PORNODRAMA is a site-specific performance for non-theater spaces, designed to engage audiences through themes of encounters and accessibility. The methodology and approach allow access to visually impaired, blind and deaf people. The audience is invited to actively experience the space, walking through it and experiencing it. They can listen with headphones without seeing, see without hearing, or indulge in both sound and visual scores. Voices in the headphones will guide the viewer’s gaze.

Bio

Camilla Guarino and Giuseppe Comuniello have been going to the theater together for many years. Joseph is a dancer and author and began his journey in 2009 after losing his sight with choreographer Virgilio Sieni, with whom he still collaborates and for whom he has performed in several productions. He has worked for national and international choreographers and is a founding member of Aldiqua Artists. Camilla, also a dancer and playwright, graduated from the Silvio d’amico Academy master’s program after years of practice in dance. Combining daily experience as spectators, dancers and playwrights collaborate together as authors and performers and have been creating live poetic audio descriptions of live performances since 2020, with a focus on dance and performing art.
