SILVER KNIFE

Goblin Party (Corea del Sud)

➣ Platform international projects

The great international dance returns to Verbania, at the Teatro Il Maggiore/Il Maggiore Theatre, with the Korean company Goblin Party, produced by the prestigious Asian circuit ‘Sidance‘. The show will be presented in several Italian stages, thanks to the ‘Crossing The Sea‘ project.
Silver Knife is inspired by the Eunjangdo, a traditional Korean knife worn by widows as a symbol of loyalty, but also used to defend one’s chastity or commit suicide.
The fictional island of Silver Knife, located on the stage, is the place where women live and where their sharp and repressed emotional states are represented through movement.
Beautifully orchestrated and full of ferocity, Silver Knife, with her four female performers, invites you to see the wild emotions that come to life in intimate spaces.
The project is realized in collaboration with Focus Young Mediterranean, Middle East and Asian Choreographers 2019 and Crossing The Sea, seven Italian partners on the network for a project between Italy, the Middle East and Asia to promote the internationalization of live entertainment.
