[Fragil] este un nou spectacol ce va fi creat în 2014 de coregraful 
Cosmin Manolescu în cadrul componentei de creație și producții a 
proiectului "E-Motional: rethinking dance", sub labelul companiei 
Paradis Serial. Noua creație coregrafică, realizată cu participarea a 
trei dansatori din România și alte două țări UE, investighează tema 
corpului emoțional, văzut ca o harta personală compusă din amintiri 
imprimate pe piele, traume și semne fizice, și toate poveștile pe care 
le poate spune un corp in mișcare. Dansatorul/ performerul român va fi 
ales pe baza unui atelier-auditie care va avea loc la București între 
27-30 mai 2014. Înscrierile pentru atelier sînt deschise pînă pe 1 mai.

Fragile – mapping bodies [working title] is a new dance project to be 
created by Romanian choreographer Cosmin Manolescu in 2014-2015. The 
project is developed under the co-production strand of the European 
programme E-Motional: rethinking dance, and under the label of the 
Serial Paradise Company/ Gabriela Tudor Foundation, in partnership with 
the Association of Professional Dance Choreographers of Latvia (Riga), 
Fabrica de Movimentos (Porto) and Centre de Création Chorégraphique 
Luxembourgeois – TROIS C-L (Luxembourg).

Fragile will research the theme of the e-motional body, viewed as a 
personal geography made of memories embodied on the skin, physical 
traumas and signs, and all the histories that a body could tell. A 
political project about identity, researched in different spaces 
(private houses, hotels, streets, studios), which will also question the 
fragility and vulnerability of our daily lives. Through its vision, the 
project represents an organic part connected to the more general theme 
of the E-Motional programme, of rethinking dance and of finding the 
right language of expression.
