“This is our revolution of the body, this is the revelation of our hidden nature, this is Apocalisse Nova!”
***
Since 2017, NON Company (Italy) and asperformance (Germany), have been working on the choreographic project Apocalisse Nova, inspired by the frescoes of the Renaissance painter Luca Signorelli (placed in the Orvieto Cathedral in Italy) and by Dante’s journey through the other world in his Divine Comedy.
The paintings are remarkable for the way the human body is depicted and the depth of the universal message encoded in them. In our artistic research we investigated the meaning of the Apocalypse nowadays, through the philosophy and methods of
Butoh Dance.
The project had the premiere in October 2020 in Munich. Now we are looking forward to bring the performance in November 2021 in Italy. Waiting for Apocalisse Nova is a one-day Butoh dance workshop, open to all, which aims to offer an inside view into our dance work. We will share with you the themes and the elements we have been researching since 4 years. Are you curious to know our project and the working method we have developed? Would you like to spend a day diving together with the project’s team into
a dance journey to explore Apocalisse Nova’s choreographic composition?
To support the costs of the Apocalisse Nova production, a Crowdfunding campaign was launched (https://it.gofundme.com/f/apocalissenova).
The entire workshop’s income will be added to the budget of the campaign. Help us to make this dream come true!
