“There is no memory of the future. We always act in the dark.”
Rebecca Solnit  

Wall Dialogue Resistance came to an end last June with a three-day meeting at Sa Manifattura, Cagliari during the Respiro Festival that brought together the entire network: Sardegna Teatro Il Cantiere Noau Les têtes de l’Art Colectivo Noray  Hacendera  Balleteatro Spaziodanza Pares Sueltos with all the involved artists.

The project has been ambitious, complex, intense, but we are very happy that it made it possible to create many great artistic works and as many connections and meetings. As at each stage, a work in progress performance was presented to the public, a sort of restitution in performative language of the guiding intention of the project. The theme of the wall was realised as an experience of darkness through a black box and a blindfolded walk in the open air.
Elements that characterised this open process shared with the talented dancer Giulia Cannas from Fuorimargine and realized with the support of  the Sardegna Teatro’s technical staff. The audience was invited to see the dance through an exploration of darkness: a symbolic and physical environment that helps to expand our perceptions, suspending the usual hierarchies of the senses and questioning the most recognised ways of sharing signs and meanings. Finally bringing to the fore the Space itself inhabited  by our bodies with their tactile and kinetic qualities.

Many original works were presented during the Wall Dialogue Resistance project’s final event:

In addition to the premiere of Stefano Odoardi’s Film, which poetically reworked in the form of images and words the whole experience of journey and the residencies, the large hall of Sa Manifattura hosted a multimedia set up that included: Nicolas Lange’s Podcast, the CD with original music by Stefano Risso and Lalli and a collection of photographs to be listened to by Stefano Risso, Miriam Tello‘s original drawings in the form of the project’s Storytelling, and Rossana Mendes Fonseca’s video, part of the Portuguese performance. Special collaboration on the performance was offered by dancers Violeta Fatas, Cyril Limousin and Carlos Silva, while Stefano Risso and Sims Simone Longo collaborated on the original sound design.

“And how much nostalgia we will have for the human. As we now have of the infinite.
But we will not have hands.
We will not be able to make caresses with our hands.
Nor cheeks to touch lightly.
A nostalgia of imperfect will swell our shining photons…”
