On the occasion of the exhibition dedicated to Gina Pane, Futuro Presente in collaboration with the Mart proposes Mariangela Gualtieri and Cristiana Collu in dialogue and listening with the help of Ugo Morelli. If for all artistic production an interlocutor is necessary and implicit, Mariangela Gualtieri in theater and Gina Pane in performance address the public in an even more explicit way, wanting them to be close and involved: their poetics, stimulated by reflection on their own meta-physical existence (on an ego that is always considered in relation to another term of comparison), leads to the analysis of the condition of women, intimate and social, up to the most extended humanity. As part of the meeting dedicated to Gina Pane, Mariangela Gualtieri will perform what she likes to call a sound ritual, a journey into the oral/aural energy of poetry. In homage to the great artist, it will choose verses written for the stage, that is, for specific bodies, faces and voices, verses that necessarily had to be embodied on the stage tables, responding to the directorial writing of Cesare Ronconi who asked for maximum liveliness from those bodies. Poetry, in oral delivery to a listening community, recharges the words, those that make us most human, frees them from the junk of current language, it remains an ancient and current way to understanding and compassion of the world.
Meeting organized in collaboration with Mart Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art of Trento and Rovereto
