Bilicoteatro
was born in 1999 in Bergamo from our desire to look for new forms of
expressions in the art of moving on stilts. Since the beginning, our focus has
been on technical skills and on the search for new movements and means of
expression of the actor on stilts. Our
performance’s style is the acrobatic dance on stils which main features are
marked by movements full of energy resulting from long physical, acrobatic and
theatrical training sessions. Bodies
and their special extensions are the only instrum en t s
we use to express new movements and to experiment different choreographic forms. Technical
skills and accuracy are combined with Dionisian vitality and inspiration is
drawn from both classical and contemporary music. The
theatre constantly verges on dance and the street performances curiously
look at and imitate the circus;, through these transformations the actors show
interwoven bodies and stilts turning their dance into astonishing feats of
acrobatic virtuosity. Bilicoteatro
produced the following performances: “Crepuscolo” (2000), “Longart”
(2001), Luxus (2002) and the musical stilts parade “Chiffon” (2002). Bilicoteatro
has been organizing courses and workshops on acrobatic technique and dance on
stilts. Actors Erica Baggi, Katiana Cadei, Chiara Carrara, Marco Colombo, Gloria Cornolti, Chiara Cospito, Mauro Danesi, Giuliano Gambelli, Stefano Locatelli, Clara Luiselli, Daniela Petrò, Daniele Pirola, Max Regazzoni, Daniela Remondini
