Hello! Tell us all about your show!
It explores relationships and the dynamics of a couple – an intense, unsettling and deliberately chaotic psychological drama. Through the language of dance, it tells the story of a couple slowly spiralling into crisis.
Would you think it is better to add a couple of phrases regarding the show or is it good like this, sharp and short? From the doc we sent you at the beginning of our collaboration, in case.
What other acts are you looking forward to seeing at the fringe?
We plan to treat ourselves to a feast of performances. We want to see as many as possible. It’s an opportunity that doesn’t come along every day, so we’re going to savour it as much as we can!
Have you done the fringe before? What are the key pieces of advice you have been given or would give to new groups or people performing at the fringe.
We’ve never taken part before. But what we’re learning is that it’s essential to have a team that works closely together and is familiar with this environment and its surroundings. Keep in mind that this is our first time, and we’re just expressing our initial thoughts…
If this is your first time – what are you looking forward to?
We’re looking forward to receiving loads of feedback, and given the festival’s enormous scale, we’re hoping to attract a heterogeneous audience. … and we hope people enjoy our work!
Talk us through your daily routine for a day at the Fringe
Well, we’ll be performing in the evening, and we always find it hard to fall asleep after a show. So, we’re expecting to get very little sleep and to be hyperactive during the day, given the buzz we imagine there’ll be! ADHD is a great ally on occasions like this.
Anyway, we expect our days to be divided between watching other shows, promoting our own show on the street by handing out flyers, preparing and warming up for our performance, performing… And the cycle continues!
Do you bring anything special from home to make it feel more special whilst you are away?
Our personal Moka pot – Our Neapolitan coffee maker follows us really everywhere… just like a good old Italian cliché
What are your best hacks to save money whilst at the Fringe?
We should be the ones asking you these questions! To make it to the Fringe, we are trying to plan every detail and leave nothing to chance. ‘Chance’ comes at a price.
If people want to find out more about you where can they follow you on social media?
The company’s Instagram account is compagnia_bellanda, and we’ve just launched the brand-new Bellanda website: http://www.compagniabellanda.com
The new brand identity is the result of the work of a team of Friuli region natives – it’s all very ‘Made in Italy’
And Finally in three words – Why should people come and see the show?
Because you’ll identify with it and see a reflection of yourselves in it. Our show will be moving, empathic and visceral. That’s more than three words, we know… But three just isn’t enough!
