The contemporary dance performance That’s All Folks! a creation by acclaimed Italian artists- Damiano Ottavio Bigi & Alessandra Paoletti, is being featured at BLR Hubba Fest in Bengaluru and at the Serendipity Arts Festival 2024 in Goa. That’s All Folks! is presented by Istituto Italiano di Cultura di Mumbai, Consulate General of Italy in Bengaluru, Attakkalari, Fabbrica Europa and Cross Project.
That’s All Folks! is the second chapter in a trilogy that combines dance, science and myth. While its predecessor, Un Discreto Protagonista, dealt with the origin of universe and the physical and the astronomical processes involved. That’s All Folks! explores the relationship between man and the cosmos with a quartet of international performers—Damiano Ottavio Bigi, Ching-Ying Chien, Daisy Ransom Phillips, Dylan Littleton Phillips. In a minimalist set, they explore a work that blends dance, science, and myth. Inspired by the concept of the ‘event horizon,’ it delves into physical vertigo, the fall, and being drawn into a space where perspective shifts and everything changes depending on where one looks. Through this journey, they question the nature of time, motion, and instability in a place where there is no fixed perspective.
Damiano Ottavio Bigi is an Italian choreographer, dancer, and performer. From the Rome Opera to Dimitris Papaioannou’s company, passing through several companies (CNDC d’Angers e il CCN di Nantes) before becoming a member of the Tanztheater Wuppertal Pina Bausch (2005), where he still works as a guest artist. In 2010 he participated in the film PINA by W. Wenders. The encounters of his career led him to confront different experiences and visions, enriching his world and inspiring his path. In 2016 he was awarded the “Premio Capri Danza International” and in 2020 the “Premio Sfera d’Oro per la Danza”
