Autumn 2024


Hello, hope you’re doing well!

With all care we wish to dedicate to this journey,  after a long process that is still unfolding, we invite you to join us in the upcoming events where we will present and explore our new creation, Play.

 

Play. We are in the dark. Let’s not waste time, let’s play, Now! The dark is the silent and calm night, the space without boundaries or limits. Rest, pause, and a void of information. It’s about losing time to gain space—space for play. Because every action that is neither mechanical nor repetitive takes place in the dark. Only in the dark can we move to radically change direction. In the dark, as in play, we perceive with senses other than sight. In the dark to see.  The space of our interconnected bodies.

SPRING 2024


Welcome Spring!

It’s in Bologna that we’ll start to develop the new projet around darkness and liquid matter.
From Lisbon, Cagliari, Turin, we will meet in the living cultural space of Teatri di Vita experiencing a performance that is a walk and a walk that will include some stops, to see, to listen and to relate to the space and to each other.

How do we move when we cannot see? How we could  train ourselves to recognise other spatial relationships beyond those that sight suggests? How can we differently see what is offered to our eyes?

@LauraFarneti

The residence will offers an  immersive and itinerant experience that will invite the public to move and explore together darkness as a symbolic and physical environment, questioning our perception, the hierarchy of the senses and the relationship between visibility/invisibility, me/us.

Winter 2023

 

Here we are. In this 2023 that is coming to an end, the Creative Europe Wall Dialogue Resistance project comes to an end too.
So much has passed since the summer 2020 when, during and because of the pandemic, the need for change and, at the same time, the desire to find ourselves all in public space, gave us the impulse to write the project, meet the partners and then to implement it.

It’s with pleasure that we made a short film, talking walls, writing bodies, as a visual narrative of that adventure journey: an open itinerant creation, – through workshops, meetings and performances, – which started from Robilante to arrive in Marseille, then to Madrid to reach the village of Noviercas and after Saragoza, finally by train join Porto, the extreme edge of Europe, to end in Cagliari.

It is composed of chapters representing each of the five residences that make up the entire journey from 21 August to 1 October 2022; plus a final chapter for the project’s final event in September 2023.

 

 

Each chapter is a sentence written with water on a wall:

1. IL MURO “Riguarda noi e le cose invisibili”(Sara Marasso) Robilante, Italy
2. LE MUR La force de l’eau sur les rochers (common knowledge) Marseille, France
3. EL MURO “El mundo no se ha hecho para que pensamos en él, sino pourque lo miremos y estemos de acuerdo” (Fernando Pessoa, trad. Nicolas Lange) Noviercas & Zaragoza, Spain 4. O MURO Água mole em pedra dura, tanto bate até que fura (popular expression) Porto, Portugal
5. MURI “Solo i bambini sanno far piovere” (Nicolas Lange) Cagliari, Italy
6. THE WALL is what you can’t see (Sara Marasso) Cagliari 2023
