What is an image of rage? What movement inspires the word of rage?

Anna Gaïotti, choreographer, performer and musician, sees it in the blue color and the intoxicating smell of the garbage fires, in the perpetual whirlwinds of the waters stirred by the twists of the receding river shore, or, in the stormy roars of the ocean. She also remembers the rabbies disease when she was in Ethiopia, the emergency people travelled for a vaccine before hydrophobia, and death. The urgency to kill all dogs. The body reappears in the face of hypnotic danger, in the face of what is irreversible.

Rage reflects on La Rabbia, film made by Pier Paolo Pasolini in 1963, through spaces that are not typical scenes. Anna Gaïotti wants to measure the states of the body on the edge of a so-called emergency, to make them both material of an elusive movement and object/subjects of a terrorizing beauty. The choreographer would like to express this compromise of beauty as an image of rage; this, by activating a hypnotic, precious, extremely vertiginous artistic writing in what it opens to time and space.

ANNA GAÏOTTI is a choreographer, performer and musician. Her writing confronts questions of sexual emancipation, doubts in the face of norms, fiction within the reality, the construction and deconstruction of personal and common identities, life facing death. Anna Gaïotti is a poet and her text and drawing work testifies to her experiences and immersions on borders, in prostitution, and later in Ethiopia. Close to ethnological and sociopolitical questions related to music, she writes about dance and music survival within tribes who struggle with capitalism. She goes through the prism of her body and her own erotic reality to bring a writing that oscillates between witness and fiction, nourished by the beliefs she confronts. Her writings have been published by l'Échappée Belle and Artderien.
