Annamaria Ajmone. The cries and moans of fossil fish

On the blurred boundary between organic and inorganic, between life and non-life, the fossil is a material and poetic testimony to the passing and layering of time. The cries and moans of fossil fish attempts to build relationships between immensely distant and different bodies and times, mourning the eternal cycle of the transformation of matter, life and death, in the context of the Sixth Extinction.The possibilities of relationship are explored by the dancers through two interfaces: the skin or membrane, the engine of movement that connects the inside and the outside of the body; and the air, crossed by their voices and transformed into a “space before any localization”. The show takes shape as a progressive stratification bodily and vocal that recalls the very structure of the fossil.
