Between God and Worms
Texts & protomasks
A monologue by master mask maker Juan C. Tajes. What was the world like before man created the gods? What happened next?
Moonflower
by Stefano D’Arrigo (inspired by Horcinus Orca)
War is over. A young man wants to go back to his island, but he needs a transfer to cross the strait.
An unknown woman offers him a transfer.
”Let’s be quick, because night is turning into dawn, and dawn is not of use for the two of us.”
She was an extraordinary creature, able to tame the killer whales and let them work for her.
She was black and deeply sealed as a mussel. He could not see her face.
Performed by Silvia Terribili

A roller-coaster videodrivezapping between f[r]iction and documentary, video-art and parody, performative experiments and expanded cinema, LCD miniscreens and multi-channel walls, the youtube galaxy vs the zombified cathod ray, Italy and The Netherlands, your eyes and the author’s (deranged?) brain.

Piazza del Popolo
We go to our Square to have fun, to walk, to read, to observe, to enjoy a sweet summer’s night, to socialize, to talk about politics, to fall in love.
We can chat with our best friend or we can transform it into a philosopher’s Agora.
We can create and re-create this space again and again.
We are the active spectators of inspiring performances in our Piazza del Popolo.
We can even decide to stay or to leave forever.
Do you remember?
Piazza del Popolo is the fortress from where we can manifest our disagreement, our disapproval, our protest.
Every true protest needs a Square to be tangible and to build hope.
Do you remember?
When universal poetry, philosophy, live painting, dialectic and insane courage gather, they are like the people of our Square: they create amazing theatre.
Do you remember?
