Fuori Controllo continues, the seasonal segment of Sala Assoli dedicated to young companies, with which Casa del Contemporaneo takes on the risk of monitoring the birth of new creativity.
Tuesday 5 March at 20.30:XNUMX pm Supernova debuts, written and directed by Mario De Masi, with Alessandro Gioia, Fiorenzo Madonna, Antonio Stoccuto and Lia Gusein-Zadé; the lighting design is by Desideria Angeloni, the sound design by Alessandro Francese. The supernova is a stellar explosion caused by a star that engulfs a smaller one, giving rise to a very violent and very bright reaction: the matter produced disperses in the universe originating new stars; the nucleus, instead, collapses creating a black hole. From this image the show Supernova was born: the story of the generation of a family, from birth to its disintegration.
The origin of everything is the grotesque and sudden death of the father, and it is then that the three children discover that they are adults in spite of themselves. Repeat Wednesday 6 and Thursday 7 March at 20.30:18 pm. Ticket price for the shows: full price 14 euros; reduced price 345 euros For information and reservations: 467 9142 XNUMX – assoli@casadelcontemporaneo.it
“Supernova is the Mother – writes Mario De Masi – she gives birth to children and gives them energy and nourishment; she trains their bodies, weaning them to the game of action and reaction: she unravels the tangle of the umbilical cord and gives the illusion of independence. Later she becomes a beloved woman, an object of desire, a metaphor for society, an image of Power. She is the nucleus of needs, desires and privations that holds the brothers together and then pushes them apart. Like a God, she catalyzes unsatisfied ambitions and aspirations, a generating and devouring center of gravity, the sole engine of action until the final collapse, when everything becomes uncontrollable.
Supernova is society: three lives that the power structures and the dynamics of the Earth increasingly distance from reality and from themselves, united only by their respective marginalization and isolation to which society condemns them. Only by looking at the stars, as they did as children, can they re-establish contact with the universe and with humanity. They raise their gaze to paradoxically observe the earth, its contradictions and its distortions. Observing the stars, the differences between men seem to succumb under the weight of the sky that makes us all small, human and mortal.
Supernova is Power: The ShowI iintends to investigate the concept of power understood as a correlate of desire, that is, the expectation and search for that which illusorily completes us. It is in the furrows traced by desire that the dynamics of power emerge, transfigurations of the struggle for social roles and of the even more subtle and alienating one aimed at affirming one's own values. Death is the critical and alienating event that calls into question the roles and values for which we fight: the awareness of emptiness, the trauma that this awareness causes, the inevitable overpowering of desires, makes relationships explode and breaks ties. The family, the primary organism of society, is the perfect metaphor to show the mechanisms of power that nest in our time. In the complex interpersonal dynamics that substantiate family relationships it is in our opinion possible to search for an archetypal image of power”.
