SHAKESPEARIA
FLOW5 – International Dance Festival
Shakespearia is a dance collage of alternative ideas about the female protagonists in Shakespeare’s tragedies and their coexistence.
Ophelia’s complex, Lady Macbeth’s effect, Juliet’s tragedy. Shakespearean female characters are often attributed with madness and instability. The popularity of female madness extends far beyond Shakespeare’s work and becomes an experience eagerly analyzed by subsequent authors. Through this performance, we try to imagine the context of the experience of the ‘mad’ female characters. Madness becomes a fascinating image, in which we also often seek emancipatory strategies. These protagonists often act alone. What if we made some displacements and, through that movement, they could meet in one space?
