House of Ivona | Selektyvus veisimas

Ivona
“Selective breeding”
Italy

Idea:
Pablo Girolami restores the scenario where a person is against consumerism, the Earth before exploitation. Due to the crazy aspiration to improve human life standards, animal welfare is constantly vulnerable. The main characters - a scientist, butcher, two chickens and salmon - symbolize the participants of more than 3.5 billion years of evolution.

Concept:
With Darwin's approval, evolution is an adaptation, not a cruel force. Selective reproduction gives priority to human survival in comfort and luxury conditions - an act of arrogance, manipulating nature. Although Darwin's natural selection and human reproduction is different, they have a common goal: survival. This paradox reflects the complex, symbiotic relationship between science and art. Creativity promotes scientific discoveries. In our case, dance becomes an expression of knowledge.
Although selective breeding is usually associated with animals and plants, the creators of the performance ask: What if people were bred not for beauty but because of intellect, resistance, sensitivity? Selective breeding can create or demolish - we have to choose.
The aim of the creators of the performance is to organize an emotional rather than a political discussion - to include these issues in the work so that viewers can personally reflect on. It is not a fiction - it is a metaphorical work of our existence and future.
