Feathers is a journey through struggles and sources of solitude. An emotional rollercoaster of a woman who is waiting. Waiting for what? For herself? For all the things she has lost? For a new beginning? It’s a quest for an exit from a mental loop, the concert of a gesture that conveys powerful images. The performance Feathers explores clown language, toying with the poetic and the grotesque, the comic and the subliminal, between the rhythms and the flight of birds. Elena Burani explores the state of waiting, an emotional seesaw between the freedom of “to be” and the fear of not being enough for herself anymore, the fear of not being able to be “without”. This unique celebration of human frailness expresses its full power by performing on the margins of what we consider circus, dance, theatre, music.
