Ombelichi tenui
Filippo Porro e Simone Zambelli
Two bodies prepare for a journey: they meet, accompany each other, recognise each other, only to lose each other, until they finally separate.
A real but also surreal journey that leads to an elsewhere, an afterlife where no ancient heroes land but two extras intent on saying goodbye to each other in an imaginary anteroom of death.
Encounter, confrontation, accompaniment, recognition, abandonment: these are the stages that mark the physical practices of the two performers and their relationship.
Ombelichi Tenui is a secular rite to say goodbye to someone or something that is leaving: a friendship, a love or a life. It is a silent prayer from which a dancing march begins in which the bodies, disoriented, lose the boundaries of their identity. It is the story of two different faces that have begun to resemble each other.
The event is part of the Sconfinamenti programme.
A journey always begins with an abandonment.
Who stays, who goes?
Look there.
Two figures walk in the rain, companions of misfortune.
I say I ask. Where are they headed? Who are they waiting for?
Shadows.
To the rhythm of fanfares they walk together, accompanying each other until their last breath.
Before they run out of breath, ombelichi tenui.
