PAINTING, SCULPTURE, THEATRE AND DANCE
AT THE CENTRO INTERNAZIONALE D’ARTE
After the summer break, the “Aperitivi in danza” Festival restart, with a program of events at the Centro Internazionale d’Arte in Siena (Via Mencattelli 5/7)
The firs event of the season, on Thursday October 12, combines painting, sculpture, theater, dance and taste.
The evening starts at 8.30 pm, with the opening of the exhibition”FORME” by Turi Alescio, eclectic artist fascinated by unused materials, which in his hands lose their sense of use and takes on a symbolic value. The artist will exhibit sculptures and paintings, allowing the public to enter his world, where every object becomes a “theater of art”.
In the second part of the event the MOTUS Company will present “Vijecnica”, an extract of the new production of the Company, just returned from a tour in Bosnia and Herzegovina, included in the program of the “Month of Italian Culture in Bosnia”, organized by the Embassy of Italy in Sarajevo. The performances of the Company have been staged in the National Theaters of various Bosnian cities, but the most significant event took place in the Vijecnica in Sarajevo, the National Library hit by a bomb that destroyed thousands of precious books and incunabula, newspapers, magazines and maps: the historical memory of a multiethnic and tolerant city, a symbol of peaceful coexistence between different ethnic groups, cultures and religions. After more than twenty years from the end of the siege of Sarajevo, the Vijecnica has been completely restored and returned to its former glory, and the Italian Embassy strongly wanted to present the MOTUS Company’s show at the Vijecnica, on the anniversary of its destruction.
After the short performance of MOTUS, the evening will continue with Francesco Burroni and Margherita Gravagna, well-known actors of Aresteatro, who will present TEATROJAZZ, a show that is also a demonstration of working method that has its founding element in improvisation.
At the end of the evening, a buffet will be offered.
Tickets: € 10 euro (reduced: € 5). Reservations are recommended.
