The Piano Nobile of the Royal Palace of Colorno, one of the most prestigious monumental complexes in the area, is at the center of a large installation of visual and performing art. The creation is structured through a journey-path for a limited number of spectators in seventeen fascinating rooms of the historic building.
An itinerant performative action within which Lorchi's fable builds its own autonomous world of material and installation creation: between video projections, contemporary objects denoting fable contexts (between teddy bears, truck doors, bathtubs), real bodies and fake bodies, large panels illuminated with the bodies of saints, holographic screens showing eyes, in a generative museum of artistic languages that support a great philological path of illumination of the philosophical and aesthetic substratum of Lorchi's ballad.
The dark and dangerous forest that attracts bewilderment, an upside-down Paradise inhabited by dirty and ugly saints, pagan divinities and mythological figures, a Virgin crucified and removed from her iconography of beauty and perfection, a Saint Francis who in detachment from the little girl shows himself as the dark identity of all the irregular spirits of creation, after having walked the most underground thresholds of the human. The wolf and the hare, mythical figures between fable and tragedy, guard the little girl who has returned to the forest, elevating her to a tragic heroine of love in a world that neither the poet, nor Saint Francis, nor the whole of humanity will ever be able to reach again.
