While merging and intertwining with nature, three young girls create a metaphorical and visionary narrative of their present condition and their projections towards the future. Through their lightness, disorientation, vitality and strength, they embark on a choreographic journey facing high and low tides, turbulence and contradictions, calm and turmoil. Guided by absurd questions the oranges reflect the path of the protagonists in their delicate passage to adulthood and guide us on a poetic reflection on our lives.

Silvia Giordano was born in the province of Udine on 21 July 1988, trained as a dancer and specialized in choreography at the Codarts University of the Arts and at the Fontys School for Performing Arts in The Netherlands. In parallel she worked as a researcher and author, and as assistant and associate director in opera houses such as Maggio Musicale Fiorentino, Grand Théâtre de Tours, Arena di Verona. Her choreographies were staged at Guangzhou Opera House, Teatro Real in Madrid, Teatro de la Maestranza in Seville and at Teatro la Fenice in Venice. In 2020 she was among the three emerging international choreographers selected by Venice Biennale Dance under the direction of Marie Chouinard, where she premiered her creation Tremendous Hop. “Fresh oranges into the ocean” is her first dance film.

The film will be part of the screening on 28.10.2022, 18:30-20:00, Festival and Congress Centre – Varna.
