Le Stanze Segrete — Atelier Piri

Le Stanze Segrete di S.

:performance

A meeting point between visual arts, shadow theater and performance, Le Stanze Segrete di S. is an artistic duo (Daniele Catalli and Eleonora Diana) dedicated to the creation of visual performances (or Rooms) through the use big drawings and technical solutions reduced to a minimum.

Each room is a site-specific work, appropriately modeled for the space in which it is installed. The viewers will be asked to create his own mental path while the narrative develops around them.

STANZA N 3

Un viaggio inaspettato

“When the wind died down, a silence deeper than the silences of the desert descended on those arid rocks, and weighed on the surface of the ocean. Then I pushed my gaze into the distant mists, trying to tear away the veil cast at the bottom of the horizon, and a thousand questions rose to my lips: Where did that sea end? Where was it leading?”

STANZA N 4

Discesa

“On the island you disappear. Under our feet - says Vidar - there is an infinite series of tunnels and caves that leads to who knows where.”

Stanza 4 was developed during a period of residency in Iceland at the Freezer Hostel Residency Program, Ref. Born as an elaboration project of Stanza 3, Stanza 4 has evolved in other directions, assimilating the atmospheres and stories heard in the Sneffelnes region , at the foot of the Sneffeljokkul volcano.
