tra questa gente esiste un sentimento
(among these people there is a feeling)
Festival of Teatro Petrella curated by Parini Secondo
Tra questa gente esiste un sentimento (Among these people there is a feeling) is the title of the festival curated by Parini Secondo in the spaces of the Teatro Petrella in Longiano. Four evenings between February and March 2024 dedicated to research before creation, in an experience that mixes scenic tradition and culture from below. The theatrical space, intended as a catalyst for extemporaneous and expanded events, will be occupied by artists united by an innovative spirit that is returned in the work in a raw way, meeting in the feeling of those who make regardless of the means. A feeling all of Romagna.
A feeling exists among these people following the Petrella Theatre’s vision of entrusting a young collective such as Parini Secondo with the artistic direction of part of its programming, together with the support of the Longiano municipality. The review is also made possible thanks to the collaboration of ATER Fondazione and Biglia – palchi in pista.
17 febbraio 2024, NULLA O POCHISSIMO (NOTHING OR VERY LITTLE)
All we have at our disposal is our body and a few simple tools: we create from this poverty, aided by our fervid imagination.
Parini Secondo‘s new production, presented as a study with the title Scorcio, adopts the gymnastic activity of jumping rope to sublimate it in its rhythmic presence alone.
AZEL, alias Giuseppe Cuna, shares the secrets of the Human Beatbox in an afternoon workshop and transforms himself into a soundbox in an evening performance entrusted solely to the sounds of his voice.
SSIEGE chooses minimal and monadic sounds in his dreamlike live performance: all examples of creation from nothing or very little, and that little is all human.
2 marzo 2024, L’ABBIAMO VISTO (WE HAVE SEEN IT)
We cannot fail to see what we have already seen.
Gruppo Uror, after its debut at Short Theatre (Rome), arrives at the Petrella Theatre with the show RED to deal with the theme of death by twisting the Little Riding Hood fairy tale, interpreted in the actions and words of a puppet: in the furrow that exists between organic and inorganic, can a puppet experience death?
Martina Sarritzu draws inspiration from Raffaello Baldini’s poems to lead an afternoon illustration and creative writing workshop celebrating visual fantasy, kitsch, sweat and Riviera. The theme of looking becomes central to developing a sense of belonging.
Accompanying us in the foyer, before the good night, the musical selecta of DJ and social activist Garz1.
9 marzo 2024, VOLO/INTERSTIZIO (FLIGHT / INTERSTICE)
We like things that are rough and that find poetry in the rough.
Flanked by Collettivo Scena, Parini Secondo turn the Teatro Petrella into an exhibition space that hosts peripheral proposals that are original precisely for this reason. In the languages of the artists involved, there emerges a strong component linked to do it yourself policies that shines through in the approach to practice, in the design of a model of public participation, in the construction of an image that eschews the canon and necessarily turns its gaze towards the boundless context of the province.
Demetrio Castellucci with UNARCHEOLOGY AIRLINES, brings a live performance inside a flight simulator he has created to the stage/arena of the theatre.
Surrounding it is a constellation of video works by the artist Benedetta Fioravanti, who through an analytical rereading of her own artistic practice, reconstructs memory around the theme of belonging.
In the ridotto, after the afternoon workshop, Collective Habitat exhibits the materials produced by the participants together with a printer that, without frills, prints: TPU-Temporary Printing Unit is an action of collective publishing and occupation that, subverting authorship, brings attention back to the weight and volume of each publication.
Scream as If Your Organs Were Made Of Glass by Lola Posani bursts onto the stage in the middle of the evening – a vocal sound action that plays on the ambiguity between wonder and disquiet – as the only moment of gathering of the audience that, up to that moment, had been branching out into the different spaces of the theatre.
We will meet again at the end of the evening, around the musical fire of Alex Montanaro, Carolina Martines and Giovanni Lami, who will close the cascade of events with live and DJ sets until late at night.
23 marzo 2024, MUSICA E METEORE (MUSIC AND METEORS)
Music and the rest disappears. (Cit.)
The final evening of the festival features a musical line-up with artists from Emilia-Romagna and beyond, mixing rap and electronic experimentation to transform the Petrella Theatre into a club.
Kuzu, founder of the label and music collective Pseudospettri, opens the evening with a live performance of his new album Bohemién; Solei Levant.
This is followed by Deriansky, an innovative and experimental rapper who skilfully combines old school with new and distorted sounds.
The climax comes with a live performance by Cesena producer and composer Lorenzo Senni, published by Warp and with a world tour behind him.
The evening is closed by a DJ set by Garz1 and Pandalogia.
