Contemporary Art, Community and Performance: Final Shows After the Sold-Out Opening Nights
Officine CAOS · Le Vallette District, Turin
Following the sold-out success of its first two performances, REACTION, the new participatory production by Stalker Teatro, returns to the stage on Friday, Saturday and Sunday for the final performances of Metropolitan Art 11, the project that has long connected contemporary art, participation and local communities.
The performance is the result of a shared artistic journey involving citizens, young artists and professional performers. Over the past months, participants have taken part in guided visits, workshops and creative laboratories developed in collaboration with three major contemporary art institutions in Turin: PAV – Parco Arte Vivente, Fondazione Merz and Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo.
The artworks encountered throughout the project became creative stimuli for a collective production that intertwines theatre, performance, visual arts and participatory practice. From the very beginning, audiences are invited to move through a performative environment inhabited by suspended inner tubes, relational devices that become metaphors for encounters, crossings and possibilities for dialogue.
REACTION unfolds through three performative acts. Camere d’aria, inspired by the experiences and works encountered at Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo, leads audiences into a suspended space between imagination and representation. Scale di sedie, developed from ideas emerging from PAV – Parco Arte Vivente, explores the relationship between matter, bodies and scenic space. Le casse dell’oblio, inspired by the exhibition Gaza. Il futuro ha un cuore antico at Fondazione Merz and by the works of Wael Shawky and Akram Zaatari, addresses themes of memory and collective responsibility, ultimately arriving at the warning: “Silence is complicity.”
Directed by Gabriele Boccacini, REACTION returns to the public the richness of the experiences developed throughout the project, transforming the encounter with contemporary art into a shared performative experience capable of connecting museums, communities and territory.
