Biography

AZIONIfuoriPOSTO was founded in Trento in 2019 through the collaboration between Silvia Dezulian and Filippo Porro. It is a company that works in the fields of dance and performance through projects that engage with venues and the people who inhabit them, using the movement of the body as a tool for social interaction, encounters, and the exchange of skills among dancers, citizens, and territories.

They propose various types of actions that generate interdisciplinary artistic processes, each time unique, aimed at creating performances and shows in theatres or in unconventional spaces and contexts, both in urban areas and in nature, always maintaining a focus on the relationship between bodies and landscapes for each project.

AZIONIfuoriPOSTO is able to connect with places and the people who inhabit them, going beyond conventional spaces and situations, with the aim of suggesting unusual perspectives that can offer places alternative opportunities and visions from those they usually hold. Their research involves various professional figures, including visual artists, musicians, mountain guides, landscape architects, scientists, anthropologists, historians, and social workers.

Artistic project

Dreams in the Fields is conceived as a collective action in the form of a walk through the rural fields, which aims to symbolically restore their role as a place for the community.

All participants (the performers together with the local community) carry red plastic boxes as they walk through the field. The red boxes are transformed from common working tools into multifunctional and interactive objects: the participants can use them as seats from which to observe the landscape, choosing their own point of view; or as elements to build a collective sculpture. The boxes also contain loudspeakers that play sounds: live recordings of the walks mixed with an archive of voices from interviews collected from the local community.

Through choreographic writing, collective practices and the poetic use of technology, the work aims to reflect on a possible sustainable future, evoking the past and investigating the present, where climate change, intensive farming and agricultural mechanisation have greatly altered the landscape, uses and traditions of the fields.
