SALTO MORTALE

Teatr Strefa Ciszy & Clipa Theater (Poland/Israel) premiere MALTA Festival 2008

Salto Mortale - dark circus act for six pianos and twelve performers.
A captivating show inspired by a story from the end of the Second World War, which took place in the German city Stettin (currently Polish Szczecin). The soviet soldiers plundered the city and confiscated hundreds of pianos in order to send them to the USSR. Kilometers of clustered pianos waited for the transport along the rail tracks. They were never removed. Abandoned and forgotten, they had been decaying gradually over years. Finally, they crumbled down completely, taking away a piece of the city's memory as well as the old order and culture and became a symbol of culture devastated and profaned by the monstrosities of war.
SALTO MORTALE builds a metaphor based on this story. It is a bizarre, apocalyptic funeral procession of grand pianos conducted by circus artists. After its majestic arrival it slowly transforms into a race of chariots ridden by demons. The instruments become objects of some grotesque entertainment up to the moment of the final scene, which delivers surprising point. SALTO MORTALE is a visionary theatre piece filled with dance, music and acting. It has got perfect tempo and carefully arranged movement. Each part of the show rolls in front of the eyes of a fascinated spectator slickly like a film to stop eventually at the moment of unavoidable reflection. It is a show placed in between life and art.
The show was created in 2008 as part of The Polish Year in Israel celebrations and was produced by The International Malta Theatre Festival Foundation and The Adam Mickiewicz Institute. The first version premiered both in Poland and Israel in cooperation with Clipa Dance Theater from Tel Aviv. Currently the show is presented by The Zone of Silence Theatre and Polish contemporary dancers.

Wie ktoś, gdzie można zdobyć soundtrack, albo chociaż jeden utwór z tego przedstawienia? Chciałbym jeszcze raz sobie przypomnieć o tym przedstawieniu, słuchając tej świetnej muzyki. ;)

aktualnosci Szczecina. Opowieść o szczecińskich fortepianach.. przejmujący obraz niszczejących instrumentów zwalonych w stertę opisała w swojej książce „Ucieczka za druty” (Londyn 1975) Maria Boniecka. Z tej książki znał opis niszczejących fortepianów Zygmunt Duczyński – twórca i założyciel Teatru Kana. Od Duczyńskiego właśnie uczył się Szczecina Adam Ziajski, twórca Teatru Strefa Ciszy, reżyser przedstawienia „Salto Mortale”.
