The Trilogy comprises of three performances that interact and engage with the theme of losing and winning, its relationship with time and in all its different dynamics, in and out of reality. The question is addressed from different perspectives and develops in different spaces and places of the Tenuta Dello Scompiglio.
Tesorino perché hai perso? (Sweetheart, Why did you Lose?) originates and develops around the ironic absurdity of winning and losing, and how both of these exert excessive influence on our self-esteem and on the concept of success in our culture. The performance takes place in the Performance Space, in a face to face relationship between actors and audience.
Riflessi in bianco e nero (Reflections in Black and White) is a journey in four stages focused on loss and memory, that winds through various locations of the Tenuta, moving between action and installation, where the public and the performers sometimes end up mixed together.
Kind of Blue - the last part of the Trilogy - is currently in development in one of the exhibition rooms. The interpreters of the first two parts become themselves the subjects of a film. They tell their secrets and talk about their bodies as imperfect casings. At the same time as the video installation, in a live scene, a turret and an astronaut who can no longer distinguish between true and false, between real and fictional characters, between the past and the present, reality and imagination. The audience watches everything from the top of a scaffold.
The Trilogy will be presented in its final form in May 2013. The performances will alternate during the week: Riflessi in bianco e nero and Kind of Blue on Friday. On Saturday and Sunday you will be able to watch the whole Trilogy throughout the day. For Riflessi in bianco e nero and Kind of Blue access is limited to 20 persons.
The Trilogy will inaugurate a programme from June to September 2013, during which artists who have already created and exhibited their work in the outside spaces of the Tenuta will be able to compliment their interventions by developing an indoor phase, or vice versa, thus contributing to a completely subjective view of Dello Scompiglio. Among them, Pablo Rubio, Caterina Pecchioli, Perrine Mornay (with Collectif Impatience), Piero Leccese, Yael Karavan, Mauro Carulli (with the CaRma ensemble).
The Trilogy weaves its path with the exhibition Estados indefinidos para una existencia by Pablo Rubio, curated by Antonio Arevalo, in the Exhibition Space. One of the artists featured in the permanent exhibition "Il Cimitero della Memoria (The Graveyard of Memories), designed for the performance Riflessi in bianco e nero, in this exhibition, he questions the indefinite states of memories in the shape of one's own identity.
