After a successful collaboration in the first edition of Larnaca Biennale 2018, we present the second edition of a choreographic project and performance.
International Platform for Emerging Development (IPED) is an idea that was originated during OPENFLR, a project that was created and directed by Valeria Cosi and Giacomo Della Marina between 2013 and 2017 in Florence. 
During the Larnaca Biennale 2021, Italian performance artist, choreographer, and dancer Federica Dauri choreograph with 8 dancers that lead to a creative process and performance, that aims at reflecting on the meaning of the body not only on a personal level but overall on a social level.

In this long period of absence from performative and scenic practice, Federica Dauri wondered a lot about the role of the body in this complex historical moment. The image of those solitary bodies relegated in their homes. The dead bodies, the distant bodies seen as a threat, lived in private and were deprived of any contact.
Are the bodies an extraordinary and complex machine that keeps human beings alive and allows them to perform actions, or the vehicle through which they express what they are? Bodies are objects—not only mechanical and not only personal or subjective but above all social. Bodies are sensitive, they are memory, they are time and flesh, they are material and immaterial. Finally, bodies are also the surface of the indelible signs of the passage of time, and the history of each person is inscribed on.
Following the performance, a round table conversation will take place between the audience, the choreographer, and the dancers in regards to the whole creative process.

“Physical Landscape” | Federica Dauri

Contemporary dance performance as part of the Larnaca Biennale.

The Biennale Larnaca and Tina Agency invite you to a unique performance featuring 8 professional dancers from Cyprus and abroad as part of the Larnaca Biennale 2021 parallel events! The performance will take place at the end of a free 10-day dance rehearsal held from November 10 through November 20 at the Deborah’s School of Russian Ballet/Contemporary and Character by the famous performance artist and choreographer Federica Dauri (Italy) and Tina Agency co-founder and choreographer Giacomo Della Marina (Italy), in which the 8 professional dancers were selected to participate.

During this time of abstinence from shows and performances, Federica Dauri has given much thought to the role of our bodies in this complex historical moment that we are living in due to the pandemic. Our bodies are not only mechanical or personal/subjective, but above all societal. Our bodies are sensitive, with memory, and are simultaneously material and immaterial. Finally, the body is the surface of indelible marks of time where each individual’s history is imprinted. After the performance, Federica Dauri and the dancers will share their workshop experience and invite members of the audience with a professional interest in dance to participate in a creative discussion on choreographic methods.

The iPED program is the continuation of the successful OPENFLR program that was held during the first edition of the Larnaca Biennale in 2018. Its primary purpose is to provide opportunities for professional dancers from countries with limited access to contemporary dance training and performance opportunities to develop, network, and participate in productions abroad through special courses and seminars.
