The Pelanda is opening its doors to the public with a new movement of artistic appearances by re-creatures. Installations and performance events staged from March to the summer at an ever-growing rhythm will breathe life into the space in synergy with the other educational, research and production activities that are played out in the Mattatoio. The artists presenting their work create tangencies among the various different projects, showcasing works produced during their Prender-si cura residencies or sharing their practices during MAP_PA (Master in Performance Arts run by the Palaexpo and the Accademia di Belle Arti di Roma) postgrad course and free workshops.
re-creatures is an invitation to publicly share in a multifaceted network of proposals linked to the different languages of the performance arts, in the belief that artistic research and discursive and critical practices are the most effective tools for overcoming identity-related prejudice, for activating dialogue (including among different species), for preventing conflict escalation and for working on coming to terms with the lunacy of human destructiveness. Today more than ever before.
The first openings consist of two journeys:
Pas de Deux by Roberto Fassone is a choreography in the shape of a video installation, a psychedelic “trip” between imagination and dream, a paradoxical, hypnotic, ironic dance involving two videos.
Black Med, Chapter IV, VII by Invernomuto is a performance listening session, DJ sets accompanied by screenings, texts and tales tracking the trajectories that sounds trace when crossing the protean area of the Mediterranean, a zone of exchange, crisis and conflict.
Roberto Fassone and Invernomuto are lecturers in the MAP_PA postgrad course in performance arts run by the Azienda Speciale Palaexpo and the Accademia di Belle Arti di Roma.
