“Group Piece #1: Reenactment” by Marcela Lopez Morales This piece is a reconstruction work in collaboration with Master’s students from Anton Bruckner Private University Linz. This piece is based on the original Group Piece #1 which was created within the framework of ARTIL Project: an international residency for young choreographers, focused on cultural exchange and educational development. The creation process took place in Ukraine and its premiere was on September 9, 2019. Besides, the piece was performed in several cities in Ukraine, Austria and Poland. The piece is inspired by the second act of Giselle, specifically in the characters of the Willis, spirits of young women who have died from heartbreak. The aesthetic experience of romantic ballet is subject to strongly established rules that symbolically transmit certain norms of social construction. However, a work like Giselle is not limited to reflecting current stereotypes, such as the alleged female hysteria, but by presenting them on stage as a plausible situation, naturalizes them and thereby contributes to their perpetuation. The theatrical stage is thus a powerful instrument of ideological diffusion. Therefore, Group Piece #1: Reenactment presents and discusses aspects such as the idea of the ethereal body and its lightness; the idea of beauty as aesthetic canons in dancers’ bodies; and femininity and woman’s clichés.

“We are born as free individuals, or so we are made to think… we are born in civilization, so from the beginning, we are part of something bigger than ourselves… we belong to a society that has already made choices for us whether we know it, want it, or not.
It even feels normal for us to live in this System because we truly believe we are living in freedom…
But do we have a chance to even think that something might be mistaken in our stressful lives? If we just stop and think about it, can we actually change something?
Even after grasping this idea, we keep on going because it seems to be the normal thing everyone does and normal is right, isn’t it?
While everything around us changes at a maddening speed and our consuming society demands more and more: everything has to be faster, bigger, better…
It seems as if we become pieces of a machine that has to function no matter what, in a world that shows no empathy for the individual and their needs or wishes.
By trying to be different we risk being rejected by said society, get sucked back in and pay a higher price than we may have considered. How worth is it risking safety for freedom?”
