CORE / Demeter 2.0 is a show that focuses on the appearance of power and develops its theme inspired from the greek myth of Demeter and her daughter Persephone, also known as Core.
The work starts from the search for a shared meaning of the symbols, intercultural investigation into the relationship between the man and the avatar, between an object and its sign.
A choreographic journey trough the image power in society. A project that has questioned mythical figures belonging to an imaginative and symbolic dimension. The choreographic identity is built between myth and the contemporary world by relying on symbolic and visual correspondences created by the electronic scene.
The path is not linear but made of emotions, thoughts and reflections, intentions of investigating the human and the animal instincts. It is a reflection on society, a society of images that led to vulgarity, immortalized in a cruel painting of hell and indifference. A group of dancers, an image, a voice behind a talking statue, a symbol of divinity the power that destroys and creates a new face, the face of a city , all symbols of the Middle Ages that we are living.

“This show tells us about hell, a world without hope. Although history will repeat itself and every moment of crisis give us the chance to face a change and make new choices , we live in a world of little attention for the other, we suffer with aggression; seems like tha a new way requires courage and intellectual honesty ad we all don’t have it. The aggressiveness has taken over the ability to control our impulses. We are beasts."

"When it crosses 'YOUR BEDROOM WITH A KNIFE BUTCHER, YOU WILL KNOW THE TRUTH'“ (Translated from the French text written on the statue)

Giovanna Velardi

A thought of the end, declined on stage in nervous movements and violence of the bodies , which brings the work of Velardi at some European dance theater committed for several years to denounce the ruinous Western values system.... a significant milestone for the choreographer Giovanna Velardi .
