PROVISIONAL LANDSCAPES
Provisional Landscapes is inspired by the anthropological studies of A. David Napier and Edward W. Said. It reflects on how we experience the limits of our own body; how we build that same body we inhabit; how that conditions our identity; and finally how we face the other, the foreigner, the immigrant. I will count with the collaboration of the costume designer Marta Jiménez Salcedo (Spain, 1985) and the lighting designer Tanja Ruehl (Germany, 1978), women interested as I am in the themes that have recently occupied me such as migration, identity, cultural clash, social anthropology and feminism? The project counts for its development with the collaboration and support of various international institutions such as Hellerau-European Center for the Arts Dresden, Arts Council England, Creative Academy Slough and the Spanish Embassy in London.

– Dani Pannullo –LUMINOL
Dani Pannullo proposed to Nacho Canut and Zeta (Pablo Herrero) the musical creation of a “Post – Pop” ballet based on non-popular vocal themes of “Fangoria” and instrumentals composed especially for this new production. As a choreo-drama “L U M I N O L” is a Post – Pop Ballet that poses a lesson of “anatomy of emotions”. This purely instrumental creation revolves around 6 songs and their lyrics that describe the particular universe of love and heartbreak to which Fangoria has accustomed us without forgetting a certain daring description of the world and the search for the spiritual. -
