There will be a sky above our heads, inaccessible and horizontal, in which sounds and lights will move with the same inexorable gait as the expanding universe. There will be an undergrowth that will live under that sky and will be inhabited by the performers, by the audience, by other sounds and other lights that will live trembling like bodies and plants. What lies between the sky and the undergrowth we do not yet know. (Chiara Bersani)
Sottobosco is the latest creation by artist Chiara Bersani, an imaginative environment in which impromptu groups of people with disabilities become a community. The performance is inspired by an image: A group of boys and girls with disabilities are lost in the woods. Maybe they were abandoned. Perhaps they were chasing a love. Perhaps the forest simply grew up around them one day. What could happen? What will become of their bodies, their hearts, their prams and crutches? What will their eyes look at? What language will they speak? And how will those who find them, by chance or desire, approach them? Can he do it? Will he be able to ask permission?
The sound dimension performed live by the musician Lemmo refers to the multiform and multidimensional path that a meridian can take, from the north pole to the south pole. Micro sounds, tiny worlds that inhabit these macro forms, details that build a living, listening spatial environment in continuous transformation.
