“A musical rite that becomes theater”
The artistic director of the exhibition, Gigi Spedalequoting the director Giuseppe Provinzano, presents “Oἶδα” as follows: “Let’s inaugurate Interpreting the Ancient with a musical rite that becomes theater, working on the state of consciousness and on the performativity of the interpretative trance. A particular liminal form of theater that works on the poetics of the moment and the symbolic: the Bacchantes live the story as a reminiscence, a memory, an ironic narration of the social, spiritual and political events of classical tragedy, demystified by capitalist interests, taken by aims in the name of respect for the body and for cultural and gender diversity. The sounds of bodies and voices, through the use of microphones that become and electronic equipment set up as altars, in one created by the rods, which becomes a contemporary auditorium. Participatory performance, which can be crossed by the public, as in a social rite in which to get involved “.
