Detailed Description of the works:
A Tiny Bite is a three-dimensional recollection of the past years of work of Francesca Centonze:
artworks that inhabit an intimate and surreal space, where everything speaks of a cycle — or rather, the cycle. It’s a kind of chamber of secrets, a contemporary wunderkammer that reflects on seeing and being seen, on the multiplicity of being curious,
transmedial and dynamic. A gaze that moves between past and future, carrying with it the joy of making. Can you take a bite? A giant potato, a nipple, a pill. Can you be bitten? By a spider, by the rage of war, by a small bandit. Titles like: Discipline, Rooting, Rotting, Talking About My Ovulation, Cariddi evoke bodies, mythologies, personal tensions. And in the corners, small objects hide in unusual places — to train us in the act of seeing and being seen. A show that invites you to explore, to lose and find yourself in unexpected fragments and connections.
Luigi Fornaciari (aka Morning Seance / Simone Borghi) invites us for Every place has its own dreams. The Genre: Concrètopop – Experimental music for people who hate experimental music.
My grandfather, Luigi Fornaciari, never liked that I made music.
He said it was useless. That I should get some sleep.
So I did.
During a residency at Bears in the Park, Simone Borghi recorded himself sleeping. Breathing, turning, dreaming—those sounds became the raw material. Somewhere in there, Luigi reappeared. A composer now, apparently.
This is his debut.
Musique concrète, if it had watched more TV.
In The Three Donkeys, a Performance and Intervention by Fabian Faltin and Katarina Pera, God works through prophets, but He also works through donkeys. As we head onwards to an unknown future, which donkey should we listen to? A performance about cognitive tweaks, AI-redundancy, and the tragic fate of an old circus animal.
In Life after love, a physical theater performance, Danilo Jovanović deals with body memory and feelings that evoke unprocessed anger and sadness.
In the pause between motion and stillness,
a body remembers.
Stories rise—
of sex like wildfire,
of pain etched deep,
and grief that echoes through the bones.
How do we carry the weight of longing?
Here, physicality and spoken word are exploring the power of healing and together, they reach for refuge,
a soft place where
both body and mind
may finally lay down
and rest.
