MALMAISON

Apartment-performance in Turin, Italy, July 6th 2008.

The work was thought for/into a private space, a flat. 4 rooms and 4 possibilities to look an intimate space. Video loop from the bedroom and into the studio, a girl dressed in white playing harp, percussion and furniture in the kitchen, in a blind dialogue with two girls in the fourth room.

I created a multi-disciplinary performance, using home recordings I made at my place (sounds from different rooms, catched during different home-activities), improvising live with harp and percussion, acting a loop choreography in the kitchen space playing furnitures and using the entire room without leaving a “safe” space for the public, in close contact with the whole work.

Concept, photography, video: Andrea Marini (video editing together with Luca Pepino); actresses: Eleonora Ossola, Manuela Parodi; (written and played) music and (performed) gestures: Beatrice Martini; texts and apartment: Gloria Pasetto; graphic design: This is it, forever.
