Anthem to Life
With his Compagnie 111, choreographer and director Aurélien Bory has carved a path as a visionary of spatial poetry and a virtuoso of stagecraft, receiving international acclaim for his mastery in blending diverse performance languages. His 2023 work invisibili is inspired by his encounter with the city of Palermo and The Triumph of Death, an anonymous fresco from the 15th century, in which death strikes everyone without distinction of class, rank, age, or gender. In Bory’s hands, the monumental mural becomes a mesmerising backdrop, wondrously integrated in a profound dialogue with the dancers on stage, where narratives of contemporary relevance, including the plight of migrants and the challenges of illness, take place. Far from being a macabre dance of death, invisibili offers a captivating anthem to life.
