Black background, A ghostly projection of eyes and faces develops vertically, al centro è riconoscibile una figura umana vestita di blu che guarda verso l'alto.

PUBLIC HABITAT 2022

Allegedly, too human It is the title of the theatrical season that Lenz will articulate from March to July 2022, composed of a plurality of performative and cultural proposals, which open to public use the post-industrial spaces of Lenz Teatro.

Historical seat of training from 1989, Lenz Teatro is located in via Pasubio, a Parma, In a former peripheral and popular district subject of intense urban redevelopment interventions over the past few years. Here the traces of an industrial past, of which isolated sections of important archaeological value survive, coexist with innovative contemporary architectural experiments in a type of European-style urban redevelopment.

Public project carried out in collaboration with National and territorial institutions and associations.

From the beginning to the beginning, In a circular time never identical, From Lenz to Lenz but out of the orbit already traced by years of research, of successes and arrhythmias of the course, doubts and uncertainties but always dissatisfied with every result. Then the result presupposes the restart, new risks, new directions. New geosophies, new geographies of knowledge and knowledge, New visions.

Today the situation in the world, already catastrophic for the continuous human attack, requires an alternative thought, of survival methods, maintenance of human species and not. They are large thoughts but concerning the detail, concern each of us. Concern war and peace, Since nature can recover by itself as the Matsutake mushroom that was born on the devastated landscape of Hiroshima, or on the waste of Fukushima or like animals that wander for Chernobyl that we seem to have learned to adapt to radiation, But for the human being the perspective is very worse, it is much weaker and defenseless.

Perhaps it is necessary to overcome the man-natural combination and consider us all belonging, and employees, Dal Medesimo Habitat. New beasts, new kinships.

What does the theater have to do with this? If the emotion process, feeling and brain are characteristic, like language, of the human being every representation, expression, refraction of thought must, necessarily, have to do with this.

Under penalty of repeating the same way to confront ourselves with ourselves, human actors and human spectators pretending that everything is as always, that art has not resentful of anthropocene and its radical upheavals, that scientific research has not introduced new worlds and visions, New techniques, New creative practices, new relationships between agents and participants. And precisely because the theater cannot exist without one and the other serves to stage the complexity of the world, The survival prospects, New languages ​​in saying, think, fare.

You will see from the proposals of the program how the search for the revelation of complexity is strongly chased, shuttered, spy. Apocalypse, At the end of the three -year period, means revelation, unveil, And we still ask ourselves if it has already happened or if it will happen and when.

Here's what the theater, as body and mortal art, should seek, in the Synel and philosophy, Anthropology and Biology, Sociology and Psychology, Technology and visual culture are already doing it at frenetic pace. Also visual art, the cinema, Music and poetry in many works have done so and try to keep up. Because contemporary theater should not do it?

We think that, as always, an alternative thought, A vision of the world closer to a pantheistic conception of life and nature can come today by women, from a group of European and American women who have been offering us horizons and sizes for some decades, Refractions and diffractions that stimulate us to radically reconsider functions and prospects. Donna Haraway, Karen Barad, Judith Butler, Rosi Braidotti, Anna Tsing, Nina happiness ad esempio.

After Deleuze, Nancy and every rhizome deramation of critical thinking are today our references, Our study interests, The imaginations of the future to be built well knowing that what really matters is only the present. Utopia and desire must be now, because there is no longer time, The earth is tired of us and recommends changing us, to revolve us.

Lenz's wide vision compared to the need for theater, encyclopedic image, It was built over our years of work, And he formed our theatrical practice making us discover beauty where it was not yet perceived, It could not be perceived if not going to look for it, With the same obstinacy of a Simone Weil, of a Cristina Campo.

A continuous linguistic storm, social, psychic never placed on their forms, always binding, even the loss of meaning, a continuous comparison with unknown sensitivity and abilities, and for compass the classicism that everything contains and everything repeats, more ugly.

From Lenz by Büchner to Lenz of Catharina von Siena still to say of madness and holiness, but outside the initial temporal and dramaturgical lines, Still to build together for the next three years.
