Since 2008 Daria Deflorian and Antonio Tagliarini have created a series of projects, shows and site-specific performances. The first work born from their collaboration was Rewind, an homage to Pina Bausch’s Café Müller (2008). In 2009 they staged a work loosely inspired by Andy Warhol’s philosophy, from a to d and back again. Between 2010 and 2011 they worked on the project Reality, which, starting with the diaries of a Cracow housewife, gave rise to two works: the installation/performance Rzeczy/things (2011) and the play Reality in 2012, a work for which Daria Deflorian won the Premio Ubu 2012 as best lead actress. In the fall of 2012, they began work on Ce ne andiamo per non darvi altre preoccupazioni with the artistic collaboration of Monica Piseddu and Valentino Villa. The show won the Premio Ubu 2014 as best Italian novelty or dramaturgical research and in 2016 the Critics’ Prize as best foreign performance in Quebec, Canada.
Since 2014 Deflorian and Tagliarini have been teaching regularly, both individually and together. Three of their texts have been collected in a volume, Trilogia dell’invisibile (Titivillus 2014). Ce ne andiamo per non darvi altre preoccupazioni and Reality were presented at the Festival d’Automne in Paris, the first stop on an international tour that took them to France, Switzerland, Germany and Canada. In 2017, Il cielo non è un fondale, with the collaboration of Francesco Alberici and Monica Demuru, premiered at the Théâtre de Vidy in Lausanne, and was then presented in Rome for the RomaEuropa festival and in Paris in the Odeon season again for the Festival d’Automne. The show won the Premio Ubu 2017 for best set design. Also in 2017 they began working on the project Antonioni/Deserto Rosso, two shows were born that debuted in 2018: Scavi, a shared performance with Francesco Alberici and the show Quasi Niente debuted in Lugano at LAC as part of the FIT Festival.
In February 2020, their theatrical adaptation of the text Chi ha ucciso mio padre by Edouard Louis debuted at the Festival Vie in Modena, with a performance by Francesco Alberici. They then begin work on a new project around Federico Fellini’s film Ginger and Fred, which lead in 2021 to the creation of the play Avremo ancora l’occasione di ballare insieme and the performance Sovrimpressioni, and in 2022 to the presentation of the documentary film Siamo qui per provare signed together with Jacopo Quadri.
For the three-year period 2022-2024 Daria Deflorian and Antonio Tagliarini are associate artists of Triennale Milano Teatro.
