Melisa Zulberti - Posguerra
Description
Director, choreographer, visual artist, and set designer, Melisa Zulberti is a versatile artist representing a new generation of choreographers supported by the Biennale through a multi-year program of commissions. Born in 1989 in Tandil, Argentina, Melisa Zulberti presents Posguerra, a work focused on the concept of circular time. A circle that perpetually brings us back to the starting point, to our selves as well as our origin, an illusion constructed by society. Time for Melisa Zulberti is an immaterial continuum where the difference between life and its representation is no longer distinguishable.
Posguerra is then "a place without day or night, without past or future. A permanent ephemeral inscribed in the body, a new battlefield that resists the external and the self. This is the meaning of the aftermath. The utopia of a promising after and the ruins of a battle lost by all. A permanent circle that must, at some point, offer another answer to life in society, overcoming a horizon of uncertainty, disorientation, alienation, and frustration".
