The 30th of november in Catania will be staged Il Muro, Dramatronic chronicle of a civilized apartheid, a multifocal and polysemantic performance by Turi Zinna, produced by Retablo Dreamaturgy Zone. The performance will take place at Zō Centro Culture Contemporanee, 9:30 pm, on the occasion of theAssemblea Nazionale C.Re.S.Co. 2022 - coordination of the realities of the contemporary scene - which this year will take place in the city of Etna.
The show incorporates in the form of multimedia live set the elements of an epic song devoid of heroes: a story by mistake recited as a 50-minute-long techno song within a dj/vj performance. The audio visual direction is handled directly on stage by the performer actor who processes live as much as his own voice and music files, as well as elements of generative graphics processed from historical abstract experimental films of the early 20th century (Man Ray, Hans Richter, Walter Ruttmann, Aldo Tambellini, Viking Eggeling).
It is the odyssey, all within his city, of a poor barber in the popular Catanese neighborhood of San Berillo Who is mistaken for another person on the day of the Mussolini's visit in 1937 and is made the object of the squad-like attentions of local hierarchs. Forced to swallow a quart of castor oil, swollen from the beatings, he tries to return home as soon as possible to empty his bowels. But to prevent the Duce's gaze from seeing the spectacle of misery that the city's slums offered, zealous administrators had put up palisades that prevented the less affluent inhabitants from entering and leaving.
The texts, vocal score, laptop performance and interpretation are by Turi Zinna; the direction was entrusted to Federico Magnano San Lio; the video design at Cristina Santangelo and Turi Zinna, the sound score was edited by Giancarlo Trimarchi. The scene is by Salvo Pappalardo. Production Retablo Dreamaturgy Zone. Distribution Latitudini 2022.
