Three evenings and three new stage situations, with different themes and tones but united by the desire to involve the public in the great environmental challenges. At MUSE the theatre tells the story of the Anthropocene, the current geological era in which the terrestrial environment is severely compromised on both a local and global scale by the effects of human action.
The exhibition, which benefits from the artistic consultancy of Andrea Brunello (Arditodesìo) and the involvement of three established cultural production centres Office for a Human Theatre (OHT), Oriente Occidente and Florian Metateatro, takes place in three different locations in the MUSE: the garden, the conference room and the Big Void, the large central space of the museum.
Show calendar
The first show, scheduled for Tuesday 24 September at 20.30 pm in the MUSE garden (in the museum in case of bad weather), is “Frankenstein reading session”, a production of Office for a Human Theatre (OHT), with Filippo Andreatta. The meeting between Frankenstein and his creature, the heart of Mary Shelley's novel, gives life to pages full of pathos: on Mont Blanc, in front of a small fire, the creature exposes himself, takes the floor and tells of the long learning of language, of the world, of himself.
Wednesday 25th September at 20.30pm, in the conference room, “Strada maestra” will be performed, a theatrical show by and with Laura Nardinocchi and Niccolò Matcovich, produced by Florian Metateatro.
“Strada maestra” is the story of the research project “Terramadre”, thanks to which the actress/author and the actor/author have explored different territories and met multiple humanities that live and work in close contact with nature. A journey that has a single goal: to observe the world from an objective perspective, without the ego and without judgment.
Finally, Thursday 26 September at 20.30 pm, in the Big Void, the museum will host “The night is my favorite day”, a dance show by and with Annamaria Ajmone, produced by Oriente Occidente.
“Night is my favorite day” is a reflection on the relationship with the Other through a meditation on animals and the ecosystems in which they live. The animal and the vegetal, the organic and the inorganic merge in the dark space of the night forest. A forest neither virgin nor idealized, but techno-natural, which includes and transforms the signs left by its inhabitants.
