Clara Delorme is looking for a female-identifying dancers of all ages, backgrounds, and nationalities based in Rome.

Where: Rome, Italy

When: 19 June 2025

Deadline for applications: 17 June 2025

Le repos is a sad piece about mourning.
Grief is often solitary, perhaps because of self-censorship or social behavior.
Therefore, this piece, imagined for four performers, is a form of collective lament that seeks to accompany sadness. Le repos is an invitation to cry together, to mourn the dead, those we know and those we do not.
For an hour, four women accompany sadness to experience it collectively without trying to resolve it.
Their journey is a farewell to those who are no longer here and an attempt to live with their absence.

Le repos is a 50-minute dance and singing performance.

For the tour of the show in Milan, I am looking for 2 dancers based in Rome to take on the performance.
Rehearsals will take place in September during the tour of the piece in Rome as part of the Short Theater festival.
The performance will then take place on November 6 in Milan for the Danae Festival.
