MELE

DAVID O’BRIEN | BAREFOOT REVIEW
Lina Limosani’s Mele is totally the modern world. Grey. Angular. Fast. Unforgiving.’

About

MECHANICAL - INDUSTRIAL - EDGY

This short work was commissioned by Insight Arts as part of Juha Vahakartano’s project Fill The Earth.

Fill The Earth is a look into our tragicomic rituals, as we try to negotiate and understand the wider world in our private lives. The audience is invited to explore the ways in which we connect or disconnect, and ultimately fill the earth with our own stories.

Mele – To crush and grind. Modern society often prioritises relentless productivity and mechanised routines, fostering a culture where workaholism and repetitive practices dominate, sometimes at the expense of creativity and holistic well-being. We fill our earth with meaningless, meandathal, rhythms, patterns and work.

BAREFOOT REVIEW

‘In dancer Rowan Rossi, she has the perfect talent to execute the most brutal, sharp, savagely exact choreography seen in some time with ripping soundtrack in support.

‘Rossi is mesmerising. He is modern man.
Today. Which no one really wants to suffer being.’
