Sala conferenze del Mart, Rovereto

Inaspettate connessioni

We start from Brāila in Romania, put on the table a map of Boston and Tokyo, some paintings by Hopper and the great wave of Kanagawa, MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology), JUSE (Japanese Union of Scientists and Engineers), Sumo and jazz, Building 20 and the concept of Shikata ga nai, a Japanese philosophy that teaches us to let things go as they go when it is not possible to have control over them.

Finally, we add a slate board, a live drum set and an audio video performance from sounds sampled in the two metropolises of the USA and Japan.

The narrative voice of Alessandro Garofalo, a physicist, will try to connect all this in a lecture-performance, finding a code that binds all these tesserae into a mosaic relating to the exploration of different business cultures, with a perhaps unexpected ending.
