Daria Deflorian > Elogio della vita a rovescio
Presented with Fondazione Merz
The work concerns one of the relationships mainly represented by the South-Corean novelist Han Kang: the one between sisters. The osmosis between the two sisters is an infinite stream.

Giovanni Ortoleva/Valentina Picello > Pagina
Presented with Fondazione Merz
“The war will last until the end of the centuries and nobody will win or lose”. From Calvino’s The Nonexistent Knight, a show centred on the character of Sister Teodora and on the relationship between the author and the white page. One of the best Italian writer’s words are simply virtuoso. And he had also a particular predilection for fairy tales.

Pippo Delbono/Piero Corso > La notte – artist’s monograph
Presented with Fondazione Merz
The artist from Liguria faces Bernard-Marie Koltès, giving voice to The Night Just Before the Forests, a politic play written in 1977. A nearly autobiographical journey for Delbono, who opens the show by reading a letter from the playwright’s brother, who authorises him to work on this real theatrical poem.

ERT/Compagnia Pippo Delbono > Il risveglio – artist’s monograph
Upon the longing notes by a violin and a cello which play love and tenderness sounds, some human beings walk in a naked space which could remind of a desert. This walk movement gradually becomes a dance, sometimes joyful, sometimes melancholic, sometimes sad. Perhaps like a funeral service. The Awakening is a work about the lots of falls and awakenings which occur to us and to everybody in the world. Dedicated to all people who fell asleep and then woke up. The Festival final show is also the opening of TPE new season.
