The Teatrino di Palazzo Grassi presents "Gestus", the first exhibition project conceived specifically for its spaces, curated by Video Sound Art.
"Gestus" is a collective show that takes inspiration from the reflections upon the body started by the great masters of theatre of early 20th century, such as Artaud, Copeau, Decroux, Mejerchol'd. The selected works question the physical language as activator of transformative dynamics: break up physical and mental automatisms, deconstruct the body to build it back, giving birth to utopia that subvert the natural order of things.
The show is dedicated to movements of the body in space and is structured in two acts, each of which presents different works by artists and performers. The first act, "Gestus I atto: Rifare il corpo", is open to the public from 15 October to 24 November 2021 with works by Enrique Ramirez and Driant Zeneli as well as performances by Enrique Ramirez (15 October), Caterina Gobbi (16-17 October) and Andrea Di Lorenzo (15-16 October).
