Dal mimo, al butō, alla scena queer

Tecniche ed esperienze del corpo nella pratica performativa di Stefano Taiuti

Abstract

Dancer, mime, performer. Stefano Taiuti is a Roman artist who since the end of the eighties has investigated, crossed and mixed body expression techniques by intertwining the principles of modern Western and Eastern theatrical cultures. By experimenting its presence in the halls of small theaters and in the crowded spaces of the clubs of the major European capitals, in video performance expe-riments and site-specific installations, Taiuti has made his body the very place of the event, making it fluid and traversable by forms and genres. The contribution traces his path from butō dance to the Berlin queer scene where he currently carries out his creative research, identifying the legacy of his masters and the originality of his performative language.
