The well-known semiologist Marco De Marinis of DAMS in Bologna will present a lectio magistralis on the theme “body, eros and theatre”. The event will be held at the Lyceum Danza Mara Fusco in Naples on March 12 at 10 am.
The rediscovery of the body in the 900th century
During the meeting, De Marinis will discuss the “rediscovery of the body” in the 20th century, a cultural phenomenon that had a significant impact throughout Europe and beyond. Begun in the late 19th century and continuing into the early 20th century, the phenomenon developed through various fields, including gymnastics, naturism, and the Lebens-reform movement in Germany. Important contributions also came from the Frenchman F. Delsarte. This rediscovery significantly influenced various disciplines such as dance, mime, and theater pedagogy, and featured important figures such as V. Mejerchol'd, J. Dalcroze, and M. Graham.
Organization of the event
The event is promoted by ICRA Project, under the direction of Michele Monetta and Lina Salvatore, and is part of the national project “Attori si nasce, ma si diventa,” supported by MiC and the Campania Region. This initiative is part of the Memorie Future, IX edition scheduled for 2025. In addition, De Marinis will interact with the students of the Academy of Mimodramma of Naples.

The event seems interesting and important for culture. The theme of the body in the twentieth century is fascinating, but I wonder how the interaction between De Marinis and the students of the Academy of Mimodramma will be, I hope there will be many ideas exchanged.
