Experiencing Interruptions?

the Being of Julie, Julia, Juliet

Juliet Capuleti is an emblematic female figure with strong charisma and exemplary power of love. She is more than a young teenager, she is an archetypal trinity. We can recognize the archetype of the good mother in her because she escaped from her family's will to be the wife of Pâris. She kept the purity of a sincere and free inner child inside herself. She was a rebel who did not accept family pressure and the marriage of convenience.

Director Biography - Francesca Marta Cabrini

Francesca Marta Cabrini, known as Francesca Volchitza Marta, is a multi-talented artist of Italian origin, who has adopted Paris as her home. She is a painter, illustrator, dancer, choreographer, actress, director, and author.

Her exploration revolves around the human being, the feminine, and the Alchemical Marriage, often inspired by fairy tales, mythology, and theater. Since childhood, she has harbored a deep love for all forms of art. Dance, painting, writing, and theater were her friends, allies, and nurturers; as necessary as the air she breathed, as essential and pure as water, the humus of her inner soil, magical bridges allowing her spirit to touch the "Greater Than All." They were her guides in childhood, and today they are integral to her being as compasses, grounds for evolution, vehicles of beauty and authenticity.

As an imaginative child, she found solace in her arts, gradually structuring herself with perseverance and tenacity. Her relationship with the arts was as vital as her connection to animals and nature, which helped her reconnect with her primal self, her feelings deeply intertwined with femininity and spirituality. All her arts are interconnected to serve humanity in the journey of self-love.

Self-taught in painting, after studying visual communication at the Polytechnic University of Milan, Francesca Volchitza Marta pursued a Master's degree in Theater Science and Techniques in Venice. She then worked as an assistant director at the Teatro Stabile in Turin, TeatroDue in Parma, Teatro Libero in Milan, and the Verdi Auditorium in the same city.

As a co-director with Davide Ortelli for Francesca Cavalli's opera "La Didone," she performed at the Teatro Malibran in Venice, Teatro Carignano in Turin, and Teatro alla Scala in Milan before arriving in Paris in 2007. She interned in the production of Molière's "Le Misanthrope" at the Comédie-Française, directed by Lukas Hemleb.

During the 2007/2008 academic year, she completed the first year of training at the International School of Theatre Jacques Lecoq and the Laboratory for Movement Studies (LEM).

She trained in classical dance with Angelo Moretto and contemporary dance. In Paris, she discovered the Graham technique. She regularly practices classical, Graham, and contemporary dance. In Paris, she passionately created several theater pieces and video creations around identity, resilience, and consciousness awakening.

Director Statement

In Francesca Volchitza Marta's artistic experiences and expressions, different domains of art influence and enrich each other.
Sometimes, a portrait of a woman becomes an opportunity to create and dance a choreography around femininity. At other times, her feelings as a dancer inspire new subjects for painting. This interconnection among the arts represents for her a sort of increasingly profound exploration, where each artistic discipline, with its demands and challenges, allows her to delve further into her artistic quest and her journey as a human being.
As a child, teenager, and then as a woman, she rediscovers and strengthens the bond with self-love with every dance step, every brushstroke, and every heartfelt performance. She believes in the alchemical, midwifing, therapeutic power that inspires images and all forms of art. In her dreamlike, allegorical, and vibratory paintings dedicated to couples or feminine sensuality, each viewer can find their own story, their own inner mirror to discover or rediscover feminine and masculine energies, totem animals, the inner child, and elements of nature.
In her dance performances, whether in videos or live shows blending dance and theater, she explores alchemical marriage, femininity, resilience, and identity construction by putting her emotions and movements in the service of stories and their plural meanings.
In her "newborn" podcast and in her writings, she shares her reflections and interpretations around fairy tales, mythology, and her pictorial creations.
In her photographic projects in collaboration with Stephen Zezza, she stages herself by creating sensory and meaningful atmospheres and archetypes to stimulate self-awareness, to open the mind to the beauty of the essential complexity of being.
