The Roberto Herlitzka exhibition “Voglio fare l'attore” by Tommaso Le Pera, one of the most important contemporary stage photographers, casts a glance at more than thirty shows immortalized by the eye of Le Pera, and interpreted by Roberto Herlitzka, one of the most beloved actors in Italy, directed, among others, by Orazio Costa, Luigi Squarzina, Ruggero Cappuccio, Lina Wertmuller, Gabriele Lavia, Antonio Calenda. «The folds of his face (which are not wrinkles) each different from the other – explains Le Pera – have a fatal attraction for me and I linger on them because it seems to me that each one has a story to tell».
Fragile is the title of Antonella Romano's exhibition, curated by Anna Cuomo: a journey through five rooms among wire sculptures, which, like a succession of theatrical scenes, culminates in a single act in which the spectator will make his journey through the human value of fragility. The work originates from a phrase by the German choreographer Pina Bausch: "Fragility is the only strength we have". Antonella Romano lives and works in Naples, her first form of expression is the theatrical one and this experience has made her research path vital, activating in her new forms of expression such as visual art.
«Impossible images whose language adopts the acquired codes of verisimilitude». This is how the artist Elena Tommasi Ferroni defines some works from her exhibition Ipnodramma, which uses animations by Jacopo Bette. Conceived for the Napoli Teatro Festival Italia, the work takes up the metaphor of theatre as an art form in which times and places are not subject to the space-time rules of nature, with depictions of paradoxical situations, where a female figure almost always stands out in places populated by small characters, actors of the absurd, acrobats suspended in a moment of agitated immobility. The women who dominate the scenes are, in some way, the “directors” of these “small shows”.
Child brides and early marriages in Bangladesh are the themes of Romeo Civilli's photographic project, Girls Not Brides, which investigates a deeply rooted patriarchal practice in the South Asian country. The photographic exhibition reminds us that it is still perpetrated against many women of tomorrow, despite the Child Marriage Restraint Act passed in 2017.
