Art work First Rose

With this experiment the company previews the prototype that tests the foundations of a future work and its compositional method.

In the center of the city of Bologna, for two consecutive days, the experiment brings together in the same place and for a specific time presences and activities of a very different nature: choreography, sound production, construction of artifacts, impromptu daily events, rare plants and animals.

The only elements that these presences have in common are the place where they are and the length of time they remain in that place. Here, each activity is aimed at its own completion (danced, visual, sound, manufacturing, ornamental, etc.).

In the absence of any pre-established performative structure, what emerges is the landscape itself, a landscape, in this case, artificial. Not a work therefore, but a field open to any other possible intervention.

The opportunity to see connections between the different activities is left to chance. In this artificial landscape, as in any landscape, something may or may not happen, depending on the atmospheric conditions, the perspective variations, the random compositions between the elements brought into play.
