Ginevra Panzetti and Enrico Ticconi have been working as a duo in Berlin since 2008. In their work they combine dance, performance and visual arts. Their main focus is on the historical connection between communication, violence and power and they create hybrid characters and images that are situated somewhere between (theater) history and contemporaneity. “Harleking” is a demon with multiple identities. His body language is similar to the Harlequin’s in commedia dell’arte – an astute servant driven by an insatiable hunger. The specific hypnotic quality of Harleking’s communication combines the often extreme and contradictory content to form a fluid, metamorphic system. Everything can happen and at the same time become blurred again. “Harleking” is reminiscent of the grotesques, ancient decorative wall art with monstrous figures interlaced with elegant ornamental spirals. Figures that can bring about pleasure, but never joy. The piece was in the Aerowaves Twenty19 selection.
