The project INTRAMOENIA EXTRA ART - WATERSHED has water at its core, and exchange based on dialogue(s). It continues the successful format of INTRAMOENIA EXTRA ART, developed since 2005, expanding it into a European dimension. Major artists and practitioners from Italy, Belgium, Sweden and the Netherlands will interact and explore their common points and differences in multi-disciplinary bilateral exchanges touching various art forms. A confrontation of North and South, but also a major effort to find a delicate and original synthesis.A first exchange based on dance and theatre sees the celebrated Antwerp artist JAN FABRE (Belgium) and his TROUBLEYN theatre company, cooperate with Italian COMPAGNIA DELLE FORMICHE company to transpose excerpts of the "Histoire des Larmes" and bring it to the Italian public for the first time. Contemporary artwork by the very JAN FABRE will initiate a dialogue with the Swabian Castle on the waterfront of Barletta, an imposing landmark.A second exchange based on architecture and the relationship between art and space will see the adaptation of artwork by the Rotterdam (Netherlands) architect MAURICE NIO and Argentinian/Italian artist GUILLERMINA DE GENNARO. The former will bring his "Dark Matter" to the saltpans of Margherita di Savoia (Italy), whereas the latter will embed her floating "Volver Sin Volver" in a urban development by NIO on the canals of s'-Hertogenbosch (Netherlands).A third dialogue rotating around the visual arts will be carried out with production of new artwork by Swedish ANDREAS ERIKSSON and Italian LUIGI PRESICCE, based on waterscapes. The artists will read waterscapes in the "other" country and express their artistic renderings back in their own countries.The final dialogue on two different experiences of water will be constituted by a "battleship" confrontation between UNESCO Cultural Ambassador for Water JAN FABRE and architect MAURICE NIO, captured in a video art piece by SARAH CIRACI' "No Water, No Life".
