The performance-installation Io esco will be accompanied by a workshop conducted by Babilonia Teatri and reserved for adolescents.
The workshop Io esco | Future, in the city of Potenza will be organised in collaboration with Punto Luce / Save the Children. Its aim is to carry out with the young people a parallel path to the one followed to reach the creation of Io esco - a path aimed at discovering the places where the young people feel at home within their city. At first, we will talk and discuss them together, creating a sort of personal map of the city's nerve centres/home points, while at a later stage we will go through these places to share and experience the possible homes that every city hosts and that we are often not aware anyone considers as such. Through this path the children will enjoy the performance/installation with a different awareness: crossing and looking at both the performance and the works not as something closed
Babilonia Teatri is a formation which stepped decisively into the world of contemporary theatre, standing out for its multiple-voiced language, often defined as pop, rock, punk. The founders of the group, Enrico Castellani and Valeria Raimondi, compose strutting plays, sorts of litanies sculpted out of the contradictions of today, brought on stage with a rebel’s attitude. They have explored various corners of provincial life, crystallising it as a microcosm of universal pain, to be taken on with sacrilegious courage, touching the open nerves of our times. Courage that was worth a Leone d’Argento at the last Biennale of Venice. Babilonia Teatri is known for its irreverent and divergent views of today.
