DO NOT KILL MY FLYGHT_ MATTIA Doto
presented at the two-day entitled "Salaam Iran on Persian culture clashes and encounters in Salemi, a project hosted by the Foundation of Salemi Sgarbi, the art direction and execution of Franca Pauli and Dario Colombo, this work has as its purpose the use of dance as a tool for raising awareness (also politics) about some important issues, first of all violations of human rights, in the current Iranian situation where the protagonist is the green movement , young Iranians who are opposing the scheme.
"Do not kill my flight is part of a performance cycle that began with "Chicken" (totem-chicken), presented in Paris in June 2008, at the Ninth International Festival of Butoh dance. An experiment by which to investigate the issue of trasformzione zooantropica bird-man, by means of a ritual dance, as well as in the shamanic cultures. So the dance as a ritual of passage, or rather, with the guiding spirit of the animal, in this case, a bird with its own characteristics. The attempt to show a body through dance you through a message necessary, through a process of destruction and transformation. A body that does not give up cruelty as a key instrument to touch deep in the consciousness of those for whom it offers and you watch. A body that heretic by offering the sacrifice of his own flesh, gives life to the unveiling of all that is hidden, unspoken, unresolved fear, lack of freedom. An anarchist body, which obeys only himself and his unspoken pulses. A body which presents a real sacred ritual of purification and liberation, perhaps for this reason could also be defined as a body "cruel." Antonin Artaud writes about it: "From the standpoint of the spirit, cruelty means rigorous, relentless application and decision, determination, irreversible and absolute. (...) Cruelty is above all lucid, a kind of rigid control, submission to necessity. You do not have cruelty without consciousness. (...) I use the word cruelty in the sense of appetite for life, cosmic strictness, relentless necessity, in the Gnostic sense of whirlwind of life that pierces the darkness, in the sense of the pain without whose ineluctable necessity life could not exist . (...) So here is the cruelty that is not free search of physical pain or ruthless carnage, but a tool that uses the actor's body to penetrate the unconscious of the public. The viewer is thus at the center of the show and take part emotionally. Only then triggers a mechanism of purification that frees him from all that is latent in him and is usually expressed with violence. "Mattia Doto

studies and research, the act of performing, including theater and dance, as a moment of 'here, I'm here now.
Dance as tools for understanding and research, through which to create a constructive exchange, and if we are creative, educational for the audience, an audience participant, emotionally, spiritually and physically present to what is happening, the moment of performance as a form of sacrifice, offering, for the creation of a "we." One way of thinking about dance "non-institutional", influenced by the Japanese Butoh, from which assumes the performative attitude. A dance basically anarchist who opposes the idea of \u200b\u200bthe body as a marketing tool and mass. A dance that aims to produce space and time and not just occupy it. According to this line of research based company ARACNE experimental dance-theater, performing arts research group that aims to investigate an approach to dance that aims to deepen the sacredness, ritual and spirituality of the stage, leaving also attract or influence by a popular culture phenomenon that belongs to the South of Italy, the Tarantismo, not as a source of inspiration, as something to reproduce or imitate, but as something from which, with respect, remove the phenomenology of the body at the scene becomes the transposition or contemporary translation and testing of certain elements in the moment "choral-ritual" crisis, exorcism, catharsis, eros, processing, purification.
furthered his research on body and dancing through meeting with other teachers, directors, actors and dancers: Masaki Iwana, Silvia Rampelli, Yoko Muronoi, Akira Kasai, Hisako Horikawa, Virgilio Sieni, Juha Marsalo, Mario Barzaghi, Rossella Di Remigio, Maurice Electric, Annalisa D'Amato.

Do not kill my flight
agitated spirits Come with your sacred invocations,
my body will be your tabernacle
I do not know you and I know your pain, because I
looking for? what is your shape? Yet you leave
hearing.
A non-acceptance, some anger
is familiar to me like the wind rushing
of some sleepless nights when the bones vibrate
shaken by anxious thoughts.
My flesh is innocent sacrificial lamb is
produces the necessary
unveiling a dark desire for revenge,
a sudden tear.
So the mind falls apart and its fragments
invisible rush,
brain through the cracks in an uninhabited place
forced waiting for too long;
you, restless spirits who accompanied me, thank you!
E 'here I will find the wings that Icarus
lost before he died because of his negligence.
I appeal to you unlucky Icarus, now that
in this unknown place meeting your wings,
confer to them the same material that made her
disconnect from your body, making you fall forever,
solar fire, ardor untouchable of feeling free, then
with these wings will be like the flaming phoenix
that always rises from its ashes
and that nothing or no one can kill the fly.
(M. Doto)
For young Iranians who have protested for the freedom of their people, those who were killed, imprisoned, victims of violence and abuse. To those who still continue to struggle.
For a free and democratic Iran.
