Island and Dream
@ Pergine Spettacolo Aperto, Via Guglielmi, 19, 38057 Pergine Valsugana TN
http://www.perginefestival.it

Island and dream is a documentary concert about Giusi Nicolini (Mayor of Lampedusa untile June 2017) and about the exercise of power on the island of landings and turtles: a place which became an emblem of borders, a limelight for the representation of European policies.

From May 2012 to June 2017 Nicolini, an historical leader of Legambiente, candidate for a civic list strongly committed to give Lampedusa’s vicissitudes national and European visibility, was a mayor of this small ecosystem, one of  the world’s most extraordinary locations. Giusi Nicolini, the first female mayor of the island: her figure prompts thoughts on the exercise of power and gives space to imagine the consolidation of a proactive and analytical political position.

On the island coexist, not without emblematic difficulties, local opposing factions that brush against each other at the human level, geopolitical conflicts historically linked to colonialism, contemporary events and imageries and the desire to pursue living conditions based on fishing, tourism and Island’s pacific hospitality.

The burning words of Lampedusian people, of Giusi Nicolini* and of those who have described her and the island, are put on scene in Island and dream becoming a matter of rhythm, timbre and contrasting meanings.

* Among the sources, the most valuable is the book/interview with Marta Bellingreri Lampedusa. Conversazioni su isole, politica, migranti  (Edizioni Gruppo Abele, Torino, 2013).

1. My brilliant friend, scenic reading
In the first of the four novels of the cycle My brilliant friend of Elena Ferrante, for mutual challenge two girls throw their dolls in the depths of a black basement. When they look for them, the dolls are gone. The two girls, convinced that Don Achille, the oracle of their childhood, has stolen them, one day find the courage to reclaim them. In this reading, the two actresses  are physically crossed over by Elena Ferrante’s text, the story is “told” with their bodies and will leave an indelible imprint on them.

2. History of two dolls, animated photojournal
Here are just two dolls. The two lost dolls maybe? In the dark and highly symbolic space where they have been abandoned, the two figures move and tell their story without words. What events are consumed in the mysterious and not written recess that first welcomed them and then made them disappear? Those dolls have no voice to answer this question, neither to make the new ones.

Da parte loro nessuna domanda imbarazzante e tu allora che cosa gli rispondi, invece di tacere con prudenza?
O di cambiare evasivamente il tema del sogno?
O di svegliarti al momento giusto?
(W. Szymborska)

ATELIERSI
URBAN SPRAY LEXICON
by Fiorenza Menni and Andrea Mochi Sismondi
with Fiorenza Menni
on guitar Mauro Sommavilla

With URBAN SPRAY LEXICON PROJECT Ateliersi collects the writings from today annotating and photographing them, and rescues those from the past digging them up in books, reviews and private collections. From the collected material Ateliersi composes a new dramaturgy, storing them in the poems becomes a way of preserving the ephemeral. To these small units of text, on the scene are given cries and whispers: visual signs are transformed into performative gestures. It is an artistic operation where theatrical language operates in straight contact with visual arts and sound design, where the dynamics of an urban landscape become a scenic material. Ateliersi is interested in the street, inhabited by anonymous individuals, where the limit between public and private is mobile and undefined.
