PARSEC

2017

©  Gus Bo

La prima ricerca condotta da Parini Secondo è PARSEC, uno studio sul concetto di assurdità applicato all’improvvisazione che cerca una sintesi tra il movimento e gli studi teorici fisici e filosofici. Ogni episodio di PARSEC è diverso ed è strettamente legato allo spazio in cui avviene. La parola “parsec” è un’unità di misura astronomica che viene utilizzata prima dell’anno luce: con PARSEC, Parini si misura con gli spazi che attraversa, costruendo habitat attraverso movimento, oggetti e suono e creando relazioni assurde con il luogo performativo.

Through the activity of jumping rope, Parini Secondo together with Glauco Salvo and Pier Paolo Zimmermann creates a performative action and a practice of archiving that ignites places by their intrinsic and veiled acoustic characteristics. 

© Pier Paolo Zimmermann

The instrument of skipping rope is used as an activator of specific acoustic events in places selected for their resonant power. Thus, the video-tutorial, usually intended to emphasise the activity of the jumping subject, is instead used as an event that illuminates the environment, the frame in which the jump is inserted. The gymnastic activity becomes an acoustic and visual meditative pretext, supported and conducted by Glauco Salvo’s subtle electronic interventions – lyrical and illusory glimpses provoked to divert perception – and Pier Paolo’s alienating perspectives.

Following several surveys, the group selects spaces that have an interesting acoustic response towards the skipping of the rope. After a few days of study and observation of the urban sound and light environment, they make a descriptive video fragment that will be added to the ongoing collection that the artists have been working on since January 2023: an archive that narrates the technical progress of Parini Secondo’s skipping activity and recounts the geography of his research path through Pier Paolo’s wide, static and sensitive shots and Glauco’s delicately altered field recordings. 

At the end of the days of research and study, they open to the public the performative device conceived to bring live what happens in the archive, sensitising perception to what the spaces and environments already offer.

What Will Happen Tomorrow

A Rock Opera by Bremo and Parini Secondo

2022 – ON TOUR

teaser

2020 official video

© Eleonora Mari

Headbanging, cheerleading, distortion and lo-fi: this is Bremo and Parini Secondo‘s show, a rock opera in three acts that is unafraid to wink, blatantly cutie and unashamedly pop. A stadium dream: amid hellish vibes and sharp looks, the group confronts you insinuating the question what will happen tomorrow?

© Eleonora Mari

Bremo and Parini Secondo’s new project plays on the aesthetics of the pop concert and its iconic elements to create a performance in which the boundaries between live music and dance blur to the point of blurring. 

The pieces composed by the Bremo (Nicolò Mingolini and Sara Pizzinelli) are part of a new production that sees their lo-fi approach take an overtly stage and pop form. Parini Secondo (Sissj Bassani, Martina Piazzi, Camilla Neri, Francesca Pizzagalli), after the experience of SPEEED, takes the Para Para technique and adapts it, transforming it, to the synth-wave of Bremo. The combination of the two formations realizes a stadium dream, with a punk and fluid approach, between hellish distortions and some winks 😉 

What Will Happen Tomorrow is a rhetorical question that should be read with a smile, an ancestral doubt that urges us to act, act today.

There’s no wind in the Internet
Just clouds and windows
No wind, no wind, no wind, no wind   

There’s no me in the night we met
Where’s the sound in the words that you just said
Be me, be me 

be me 

© André Symann

be me is a dance performance born from the encounter between Parini Secondo (Sissj Bassani,  Martina Piazzi, IT) and Magdalena Oettl (DE) during a 4-month coexistence in Essen within the  KreativCampu.Ruhr program. The result of this long period of cohabitation is a choreographic  template shown for the first time on 25th March at Kunsthallen Bochum. Inspired by the concept of meme, most commonly used as a linguistic sign within online  communities, Parini and Magdalena created a device which highlights the self organisational mechanisms of a small community populated by seven performers and witnessed  by an online audience. Through copying and imitation, the whole community is the author of the  choreography which becomes solid just in the moment of staging. Silent agreements are floating in  the space, carried by the wind they spread like a rumor and promote the existence of a temporary  truth.

ROCCO

2018

ROCCO_rOmegna Mia

© Samuel Fuscà

ROCCO is an online artistic research. It’s born from the stratification of information on the web, from the continuous overlapping of research windows, capable of connecting the most disparate contexts. It’s what remains of the journey through the connections between materials on the net. Connections are provided by links that lead to the extremes of a web of relationships, expanding it and finding increasingly absurd links. It is the testimony of an individualistic yet hyper-connected generation. Everyone can create new relationships and everyone possesses those already present, as a tradition.

© source online – Bagno Corrado n.2 Gatteo a Mare (FC)

ROCCO chooses to stage the group dances as a bridge between the tradition of the Italian region of Romagna and that of the Internet, using choreographed forms copied from YouTube tutorials. The dance is a loop, in which each participant has the freedom to open a window and follow its own drift, creating new relationships and expanding the web. The dance is not demanding, it is part of a collective consciousness that belongs ab origine (by tradition) to each participant. It is a dance of the crowd and the crowd is what qualifies it, making it a language.

PARSEC

2017

©  Gus Bo

The first research carried out by Parini Secondo is PARSEC, a study on the concept of absurdity applied to improvisation that seeks a synthesis between movement and physical and philosophical theoretical studies. Each PARSEC episode is different and it is strictly related to the space in which it happens. The word parsec is an astronomical unit of measure that was used before the light-year: with PARSEC, Parini measures itself with the spaces he crosses, building habitats through movement, objects and sound and creating absurd relationships with the performative place.

bio

Parini is a fictitious character with a feline face, a choreographic project and a future piadina’s restaurant.

Parini Secondo was born in 2017 from an idea of Sissj Bassani (Cesena, 1997) and Martina Piazzi (Bologna, 1997), involving Camilla Neri (Lugo, 1997) and Francesca Pizzagalli (Cesena, 1997).

The collective works on the movement in a protean way, questioning the limits of authorship and up-to-dateism. With an ecological and ready-made act, the group remixes other people’s ideas and choreographic materials taken from the online world, often in the form of tutorials, assembling choreographies through sampling. Parini exploits and supports the potential of open source and DIY [do-it-yourself].

From 2019 the collective collaborates with the musician, producer and teacher Alberto Ricca/Bienoise (Verbania, 1985), who is present in the creation of the projects “i”(2019), ROCCO(2019) and “SPEEED”(2020).

Since its foundation, the collective has participated in several festivals, events and competitions:
BIM! BIM! Microfestival for Children by Katriém Ass. Cult. (Santarcangelo di Romagna, Italy, 2017); MAIONESE home vernissage (Bologna, Italy, 2017-2018); OPUS 1 International Dance Competition for Young Choreographers (Celje, Slovenia, 2018-2019); U.F.O. Art&sound Festival by Mastronauta and Migma Collective (Omegna, Italy, 2018-2020); Fron+@ Festival (Murska Sobota, Slovenia, 2018); ArtistInCasa Festival (Republic of San Marino, 2018); theWorkRoom by Fattoria Vittadini (Milan, Italy, 2019); NAOcrea at DidStudio by Ariella Vidach/AiEP (Milan, Italy, 2019); Multiplicidades Festival (Santa Cruz, Portugal, 2019); INDIEPride Festival (Bologna, Italy, 2019); ELEMENTI Festival by Magma & Mu (Cervia, Italy, 2020).

In 2020-21 Parini is one the winners, together with Magdalena Oettl, of KreativCampus.Rhur residency program funded by Ministry of Culture and Science of the State of North Rhine- Westphalia and carried out by ecce – European Centre for Creative Economy.
