Cristina Kristal Rizzo / Diana Anselmo

Monumentum DA

The artistic project, intended as a real choreographic work, it is structured as a story transmitted from body to body that intends to amplify and give space to the intrinsic possibilities of sign language, a language that has long been made alien from phono centric power processes that have attempted to abolish it throughout history.

A living, corporeal, human language that does not speak of margins but of new forms.

The LIS and Diana’s body are an archive of documents in continuous transformation, linguistic monuments that form a shared story in which the politics of a body flow within a vital impulse in a attempt to open other levels of memory and reconnect to history. The work is accessible to all, containing in its form the possibility of being enjoyed by a hearing audience and a deaf audience.

The choreographic work Monumentum DA is configured and developed around the question of the accessibility of another language, the sign language, as a poetic form of relationship and expressiveness, decolonizing the gaze and reconsidering the potentiality of a space in which diversity is a pure resource in relation to the shared imagination of a temporary community.

On the days of the performance, the Forte Forte workshop can be hosted: physical practices, modalities, postures and dialogues for the research of a dance sensitive to the expressive power of bodies and sharing.

A body that simply acts as a body.
This discourse is composed just like a piece of music
…my body remains the enduring reality. Deaf people do not believe in silence.
Silence is an invention of hearing people.
Did you know that humans only developed
vocal cords from Homo erectus onwards?
