Sea Without Shore - Onde o Mar Descansa

21/07/2020

A rhythmically captivating exploration of love and loss at the fin de siècle. An amorous relationship between two women abruptly cut short. Dissolving under the impact of the loss of her soul mate, the surviving lover is drawn into the depths of mid-winter forests, into spheres of the subconscious, initiated by unknown forces. There is no return.

Directed by Andre Semenza and Fernanda Lippi, founders of critically acclaimed Anglo-Brazilian physical theatre company Zikzira, makers of ‘Ashes of God’ (“Stupendous” Time Out Critic’s Choice “Intense, flashbacking and highly stylized dance drama” BBC).
Set in remote forest landscapes and interiors in rural 19th century Sweden, Sea Without Shore was photographed in cinema-scope by award-winning British director of photography, Marcus Waterloo.
Post-produced at Pinewood Studios, the film features a sound design supervised by Academy-Award® and multiple BAFTA winner Glenn Freemantle (‘Gravity’). The original music was created by pioneering composer The Hafler Trio (aka Andrew McKenzie who has collaborated with Chris Watson of Cabaret Voltaire, Fluxus artist Willem de Ridder, Nurse With Wound, Autechre, Jónsi Birgisson of Sigur Rós, amongst others) using the cast’s sonic imprints for the creation of the soundtrack, which, in turn, was used on location. The cast thus performed inside a cloak of their own sound, in pursuit of a visceral, emotional truth.

Through the integration of various artistic disciplines, at times imperceptibly intertwined, Zikzira Physical Theatre aims to forge an experience beyond the sum of these art forms. This feature film Sea without shore, brings together cinema, poetry, physical theatre and a soundscape driven by one core element: the somatic impulse. Fernanda Lippi explores subjectivity, myth, dream states and archaic forces of human psyche, and seeks, through risk, a letting-go and surrender to make way for an ‘expectant space', through alignment of creative forces, when presence is achieved through absence.

‘Inevitable movement’, sculpted by intention, is a current pervading all of Zikzira’s work.

The Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood (later known as the Pre-Raphaelites) was a group of English painters, poets, and art critics, founded in 1848 by William Holman Hunt, John Everett Millais, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, William Michael Rossetti, James Collinson, Frederic George Stephens and Thomas Woolner who formed a seven-member "Brotherhood" modelled in part on the Nazarene movement.[1] The Brotherhood was only ever a loose association and their principles were shared by other artists of the time, including Ford Madox Brown, Arthur Hughes and Marie Spartali Stillman. Later followers of the principles of the Brotherhood included Edward Burne-Jones, William Morris and John William Waterhouse.
The group sought a return to the abundant detail, intense colours and complex compositions of Quattrocento Italian art. They rejected what they regarded as the mechanistic approach first adopted by Mannerist artists who succeeded Raphael and Michelangelo. The Brotherhood believed the Classical poses and elegant compositions of Raphael in particular had been a corrupting influence on the academic teaching of art, hence the name "Pre-Raphaelite". In particular, the group objected to the influence of Sir Joshua Reynolds, founder of the English Royal Academy of Arts, whom they called "Sir Sloshua". To the Pre-Raphaelites, according to William Michael Rossetti, "sloshy" meant "anything lax or scamped in the process of painting ... and hence ... any thing or person of a commonplace or conventional kind".[2] The group associated their work with John Ruskin,[3] an English critic whose influences were driven by his religious background.
The group continued to accept the concepts of history painting and mimesis, imitation of nature, as central to the purpose of art. The Pre-Raphaelites defined themselves as a reform movement, created a distinct name for their form of art, and published a periodical, The Germ, to promote their ideas. The group's debates were recorded in the Pre-Raphaelite Journal.
