LIFE IS DREAM | 90’
from Calderón de la Barca
Project for Parma 2020+21 Italian Capital of Culture
LIFE IS DREAM is part of THE IMMINENT PAST, a four-year project 2018-2021 > site-specific performative, choreographic, visual and sound installations conceived and directed by Maria Federica Maestri and Francesco Pititto.
In the new installation at the Abbey of Valserena, as already in the two site-specific autos sacramentales Il grande teatro del mondo and La vida es sueno at the Complesso Monumentale della Pilotta in Parma, the sensitive actor – together with adolescent and elderly performers – becomes a central figure of the dramaturgy, of the mise en site, of the deep sense of the theological-philosophical drama.

THE ORESTEA | 120′
The tragedies that make up the Oresteia of Aeschylus represent a single family story divided into three episodes, whose roots lie in the mythical tradition of ancient Greece: the murder of Agamemnon and his lover-slave Cassandra by his bride Clytemnestra (Agamemnon), the revenge of his son Orestes who, with the complicity of his sister Electra, kills his mother (Le Coefeore), the persecution of the matricide by the Furies and his final acquittal by the court of the Areopagus (Le Eumenides).
The stage project directed by Maria Federica Maestri and Francesco Pititto is composed of three creations: #1 Nidi from Agamemnon, #2 Latte, from Le Coefore and #3 Pupilla from Le Eumenidi; the powerful sound translation of the trilogy is designed by Lillevan, one of the most significant artists of the international electronic music scene.

TRAGEDIA, TEATRO, DÈI NEL PENSIERO DI NIETZSCHE
Lectio Magistralis
What role do tragedy, theater, and the gods (particularly Dionysus) play in the thought of one of the most influential philosophers of modernity, Friedrich Nietzsche? And above all: are tragedy, theater and the divine necessary to thought as such?

TOCCARE the White Dance | 60’
TOCCARE_the White Dance, in its choreographic thought intends to implement an aesthetic experience that reveals the power of touching as a founding gesture of the world, the sensitive one of bodies but also that of insensitive matter, the simple intimacy of a radically open feeling.
