Alix Eynaudi & guests – Institute of Rest(s) : (Im)mobility salon #4 @ Raum Bologna at the invitation of Xing.
Saturday 7th of December, 2024

At the invitation of Xing, Institute of Rest(s) imagines an evening in Bologna with sound designer Paul Kotal (AT), curator & writer Anne Faucheret (AT), artists Zoe Francia Lamattina (IT) & Ida Malfatti (IT), artist & dancer Cécile Tonizzo (FR), and researcher Daniela Crocetti (IT).

(Im)mobility Salon #4 is not an event, it is an evening program that weaves together a landscape of dances, sounds and words : fibers of poems as spells, desires and practices that are messy and diverse, as well as joyful, occult and celebratory. (Im)mobility Salon #4 longs to turn a choreographic inquiry into dreams of open-ended rehearsals of suspensions, of resting together. Fomenting little cracks and openings, the (Im)mobility Salon series aspires to happen there where the implicit summons wordings, there where it doesn’t go without saying.

At times concert, at times litany, at time lecture, at times dance composition, (Im)mobility Salon #4 becomes a place to rest, with many, in and with the crowds that precede us and will follow us.

Program:

Notebooks, a dance duet, Haunted Nap, a nap-conference to listen to with closed eyes, LETTURE DISTESE #4, an experiment in listening without concentration, and a concert taken from the piece Death By Landscape, a concert.
