Cado sempre dalla nuvole
Cado sempre dalle nuvole – Cantare Pasolini, is a project led by Mauro Gioia starring himself and Italian actress Claudia Gerini, produced by Teatro di Napoli Teatro Nazionale Mercadante. It is a musical theatre piece, a small opera as Francesco Saponaro defined it, based on songs written by Italian writer and filmmaker Pier Paolo Pasolini.
On the stage, as part of the dramaturgy conceived by stage director Francesco Saponaro, a set of photographs from my personal works are printed on huge size blu back papers. In what he calls theatrical space, Saponaro designed an advertising billboard on which are pasted posters made out using pictures from my works
The way she moves attracts me like no other lover. Personal landscapes.
In a first movement, Francesco Saponaro engaged a re-writing process leading him to compose new images rearranging the pre existing pictures. Inspired by the decollage technique and in particular by Mimmo Rotella works, the act of ripping part of a picture on one layer composes a brand new image using the emerging piece of a an underneath image. On the stage, during the show, actors, in their scenic movements, rip the posters following a path precisely written by Saponaro, making emerge the new picture in a live and spontaneous movement. Saponaro’s aim was to echo themes and aesthetics from Pasolini’s cinematography as well as to build up a space in which stories from the songs on stage as well as from the texts of dramatist Igor Esposito, can find a visual link.
