BLAST
BLAST is the latest choreographic production by VEDANZA Luxembourg created and performed by Emanuela Iacopini (IT/LU) in collaboration with Frey Faust (US/DE), Yuko Kominami (LU/JP/PT), and Saju Hari (UK/IN) to an original sound track by Rajivan Ayyappan (IN/LU).
BLAST reflects on destruction and creation, transition and transformation, the end and the beginning, searching into the light and darkness of explosions. Coproduced by CCRD Opderschmelz and Capé-Centre des Arts Pluriels Ettelbruck in Luxembourg with the financial support of the Ministère de la Culture, the piece premiered in Dudelange on the 10th November after an avant-premiere performance extract in Ankara at the CerModern museum in September 2020. It has been selected for the online festival Les Rencontres Chorégraphiques de Casablanca in November 2020. After an initial residency at Centro de Artes Performativas do Algarve, Devir/CAPa in Faro BLAST goes back to Portugal to present the piece at Convento Sao Francisco in the frame of the Sons Em Transito SET festival !
