Odyssea
Quicksilver Dance (New York, USA)
This dance-on-film follows the epic journey of Odyssea, a curious sea
traveller, as she encounters flora and fauna in fantastical realms. New
York-based Quicksilver Dance perform with only their hands, painted to
become vibrant characters. Across biomorphic landscapes of sculptures
and fabric and set to original music, Odyssea offers a feminist take on
the concept of an odyssey: she makes her way by helping fellow
travellers, building relationships and trading, rather than through the
mythologically typical (male) approaches of strength, trickery or
intrigue. This playful and poignant tale of encountering difference
promises to make the familiar feel excitingly unfamiliar again.
