Extract of "A Stream of Waiting".m4v

A Stream of Waiting is a piece of choreography created by the artist, Fortunato Angelini, who has concentrated his attention on producing movement from a process of abstraction starting from specific subjects. The act of abstraction was the stimulus for his choreographic approaches and the application of video images as the scenographic design. The guideline for the practical research in this work and choreographic implications was the tragicomedy and absurdist play, Waiting for Godot, (1948-49) by the Irish avant-garde writer Samuel Beckett, where two dissimilar forms of human relationship can be found.

The final product is a live dance event of twenty minutes in length with video images, using two performers and two video screens. Concretely, the live dance piece is punctuated with pre-recorded footage of the same two performers projected on two screens which reflects the theme of duality and acts as an alter-ego to the two movers on stage.

The purpose of this project has been to experiment and to further the author's choreographic piece with a new approach to the investigation of abstraction starting from a specific subject.
