In today's disturbing discontinuity, what is immediately impacted and challenged is the body: battered by wars, disrupted by climate change, exhausted by algorithms, violated, reified… But the body is not predictable, it is not passive, it is not neutral, it is not reducible; it cries out its surplus.
Not even the head, even if we don't pay attention to it, is something for granted… and Marisa Merz reminds us of it! It can be an uncomfortable and comfortable companion to a day without hours, and it can be a hat that's too hot… Surely we must keep in mind that the most she can do is what her body can do, without her!
By Orsola Rignani, aimed at students of the University of Parma and the Lenz Fondazione performer.
The laboratory's philosophical research draws inspiration from the performance work HEADS.
A transdisciplinary conversation/reflection on corporeality in its prismatic nature, featuring Monica Barone as a performer, Adriano Engelbrecht as a poet, Ubaldo Fadini as a philosopher, Manuela Macelloni as a philosopher, Maria Federica Maestri as a performance composer and visual artist, Carlo Maini as a physician, and Orsola Rignani as a philosopher.
