R_ESISTERE

“We ain’t going nowhere. We are here to stay. We are here. We are here. We are."

R-ESISTERE is a dance-concert on the theme of resistance. It originates from the desire of embodying a sense of revolution and it portrays protest as an essential part of being human, challenging the social beliefs around it.
The performers embody a manifesting crowd with the energy of a rock concert audience. We all fight for or against something; can we make our fight exciting and worth the effort?

R-ESISTERE is not about revolution. It is the manifestation of the trust that things will go better: love will appear, sooner or later, we just need to endure a bit longer and keep our voices loud.

R-ESISTERE is the winning project of the encouragement prize of the Nederlandse Dansdagen 2013. R-ESISTERE is a production of Giulio D’Anna Company/stichting Gillen and is a co-production of NDD, Dansateliers (Rotterdam), C/O Maastricht, Civitanova Casa della Danza/AMAT and Versiliadanza (Italy)
