El ojo artístico de De Stéfano y su creatividad explorarán nuevas imágenes de los lugares en los que está interviniendo. La hermosa mente de un artísta es capaz de transformar y comunicar valores esenciales que yacen en la simple superficie del desierto.

Also, a film documentary will be shot during the trips, allowing to understand the creative process followed by the artist throughout the world, as well as the obstacles and difficulties encountered to reach the furthest regions of the world, things which are imperceptible when we admire the pristine images of De Stefano. De Stefano’s artistic eye and creativity will explore new images of the places he is intervening. The beautiful mind of an artist is able to transform and communicate essential values lying beneath the simple surface of the desert. Through the photographs of these landscapes, Alfredo expresses a particular way of understanding our planet’s evolution and allows us to think about our place in the world, about death and emptiness and many other fundamental questions of our existence and our relationship with our environment as well as to meditate on the beauty that surrounds us even in barren territories.

Sinopsis: Cual moderno explorador Dani Pannullo se sitúa ahora en Trivandrum la capital del estado de Kerala al sur de India. Apasionado durante años por una forma de lucha ancestral nacida en esta zona del país, el Kalaripayatu, conocida por los expertos como “la madre de todas las artes marciales”. La practica natural de la compañía dirigida por Pannullo es difundir y estudiar las diferentes tradiciones dancísticas universales que son el eje y raíz de sus espectáculos. El lenguaje base de este director ha sido siempre la danza urbana contemporánea, razón por la cual al ser una forma de baile nacida en las urbes e influenciada desde sus comienzos por la artes marciales nos lleva directamente a India y no a China o Japón como otros podrían suponer. La experiencia artística y la vivencia, tanto para los bailarines españoles que se trasladaran a Kerala, como para los jóvenes indios practicantes de esta disciplina, fomentará unos lazos que, según la firme convicción de este director, serán fructíferos para las futuras relaciones culturales entre ambos países. (+) Dance Performance: “Soul Pait” by Dani Panullo Dance Theatre Co.Synopsis: The modern adventurer Dani Pannullo travelled in 2013 to Trivandrum, the capital of state of Kerala in southern India. For years he has been fascinated by the age-old regional fight form Kalaripayattu, known to experts as the mother of all martial arts. Common practice for the company run by Pannullo in Madrid (Spain) is to study carefully the different dance forms at the root of their performances. The preferred language of this director has always been urban contemporary dance. Although this style of dance came into being in the metropolitan areas, it has been influenced by martial arts since its very beginning. Therefore, Pannullo’s search for inspiration has taken him in this occasion to India, and not China or Japan, as could otherwise have been presumed. The experience of the Spanish dancers living in Kerala and working together with the young Indian Kalaripayattu fighters would, according to the firm conviction of this director, inevitably strengthen cultural ties between both countries and stimulate further artistic creations in the future.(+) Free entry
