“On the Border”, a film by Mario Morleo, about 10 years (2003-2013) of the Butoh dance-solo festival “La Danza di Confine” (“Dance on the border”)

This unique festival, under the artistic direction of Anna Lisa Maggiani, shows a variety of performances by Japanese Butoh masters, as well as by dancers from all around the world, who have experimented with Butoh. La Danza di Confine is a journey into the Border Land which is a land of passage, transition and transformation. When dancing in this land we are creating new territories, by bringing in communication from different worlds: conscious and unconscious, known and unknown, form and formless. It is a land between East and West, between different artistic disciplines. Border, meaning the space of transition between different cultures, arts and styles, in which the capacity of absorbing and transforming creates new appearances. It is a land in which the body finds all its own communicative strength and poetry. Mario Morleo, a documentary maker and videoartist since 25 years. He works with different artists around the world and since 1999 collaborates with the dancer Annalisa Maggiani.
