AMARSIAMORSI teaser 2021

FESCH.TV INFORMIERT:

„Special Mention Award for a Performance by International Artist“
BANGKOK THEATRE FESTIVAL 2018 – Thailand

AMARSIAMORSI is a performance that reflects on current migrations in Europe, on the love between two women in precarious situations, on the difficulty of facing loss. A show of landscapes evoked by singing, stories told through gestual dialogues, messages revealed by images. The characters move between love, death, passion, violence and hope. To search, to find, to let go of life.

The performance is inspired by the reflections on life and death offered by the Italian author Pia Pera in the book „I haven’t told my garden yet“ and the true story of a Nigerian asylum seeker – met in Italy through the project ODI – persecuted in his country for being homosexual. AMARSIAMORSI was born out of EFFIMERIA: a three-year project of transdisciplinary and intercultural research on the theme of death, developed between Brazil and Italy. The project organized multiple performances, artistic and cultural activities in cooperation with research institutions and artists from various sectors.

Review by Bangkok Theatre Festival critic Greek Piroonluk
AMARSIAMORSI epitomizes the saying that goes “theatre is the world on stage.” The show bursts with meanings due to stellar artistic execution and presentation. Each prop was intentionally introduced, as though the props themselves were characters on stage. The performance was accompanied by the two actresses perfectly harmonized singing. They alternated melody and rhythm, taking turns in harmony. They did so using their hearts, which were connected throughout the entire performance. The two actresses created this masterpiece as one. This performance explores death, love, blooming and suffering. Occasionally, we can sense the emergence and disintegration of beauty as well as the uncertainty of life simultaneously. Death is so close, we will know only when we will reach our hands out to touch it. That’s life. Grow flowers and let them bloom in your life. Accept that on some days, there will be rain. When that happens, bow down to kiss the clock and keep moving forward.

Review by Federica Amatuccio Artistic Director PoverArte Festival Bologna
Elegant, poetic, delicate. AMARSIAMORSI is a constant succession of these three adjectives. The scene is naked, only inhabited by a white tree that in its simplicity dominates the space and marks the passing of time. The two protagonists travel across a sophisticated narrative arc, intertwining a love story based on silence and stolen looks. The feeling is that of a constant expectation that leaves you breathless throughout the piece. From the first moment, you realize that these two fascinating figures will surely lead you to a tragic destiny. Sounds, colours and smells drag you inside the piece, until you realize that this game of seduction will evoke a direct confrontation with Death: a Death that has the body of a beautiful woman and the face of tradition. AMARSIAMORSI is a delicate Renaissance painting.
