Corn is getting huge, turkeys have lost the ability to reproduce, cows produce an incredible amount of milk dachshunds are getting grossly long. Pablo Girolami's investigation is aimed at reflections around themes such as survival, within a dystopian panorama built specifically to raise reflections in the viewer's consciousness. The protagonists are a scientist, a butcher, two chicks, and a salmon, the same protagonists who represent some of the actors who have inhabited more than 3.5 billion years of evolution on Earth to date, essential for Homo sapiens.

IVONA was founded in 2019 by Pablo Girolami. A community characterized by determination and passion which recognized in artistic languages, not only in dance, the resilient future for the world to come.

interview

Have you been to Gorizia before?
If yes: one thing you look forward to doing again
If not: one thing you hope to find

Yes, many times
And we can’t wait to perform at Visavì!!!!

If you could give a piece of advice to yourself as a child, what would it be?
Start dancing as soon as you can, don’t be afraid!

If you had the power to change the world you live in, what would you start with?
With protecting the biodiversity and the different species.

How did you first come across dance?
My sister had been dancing for years and I had always been curious, then I eventually took a plunge.

Complete the sentences with only one word:
Dance can: change
Dance is: seduction
Dance will be: us

What was the spark that originated the idea for your performance?
Amanda, the salmon… Lots of discussions about ethics…? Darwin’s theory of evolution.

And now, tell me why I should come and see your performance:
Have you ever seen a scientist, a butcher, a salmon and a brood of chicks on stage???
