“Tire-bouchon” follows performer Marta Ferraris as she navigates through redundant physical language and strives to reconnect with her inner voice. Behind a closed door lie the paradoxes of human existence and critical judgments that stifle intuition and emotional intelligence. Inspired by autobiographical reflections, the artist explores gestural ambiguity. Can gestures devoid of meaning exist? If so, in what ways can they be interpreted? The choreography integrates various physical vocabularies and departs from conceptual research into contrasting dialectics. Disjointed fragments of life, habits and streams of consciousness collide in a permeable and enigmatic dance where the body struggles against form, and the mind grapples with an understanding beyond comprehension. Established patterns may clash, points of view may shift, and the boundaries of the mind may blur.

Marta Ferraris, originally from Italy, is a dancer, teacher, and author based in Berlin. Marta’s training includes various dance techniques such as ballet (Accademia Teatro alla Scala), oriental dance (Persepolis Company), contemporary dance (DEOS Company), movement research (Tanzfabrik), and circus arts. Marta’s practice delves into the deconstruction of aesthetics and body ideals in dance. In promoting inner creative empowerment and through the strong use of gestures, her dance practice is characterised by contrasting dialectics. Marta focuses on bridging tradition with innovation while sharing the communicative and therapeutic power of dance. She collaborates with the transfeminist collectives corpX in movimento and Hütte, engaging in projects that reclaim urban spaces for the arts.
