Gelabert Azzopardi

A double bill programme

The first work is a short choreography titled USELESS (Information meets boy...) and reflects the power of television and media on the young man, luring him into chaotic circumstances. Everything transforms, part real part dream......

KINEMA, the second half of the evening is dedicated to silent films and its heroes, particularly those of the American studios during the 1920s.

The idea emerged from the fascination towards movement in black-and-white silent films, and of accelerated rhythms and exaggerated expressions.It is represented as vignettes and sketches
