"TOTAL" LIVE PERFORMANCE (Bicentenary of the birth of R.Wagner)
Start date: May 1, 2012,
The project, inspired by the theory developed by Richard Wagner (1813-1883), recurring the bicentenary of his birth, aims to create some “total” artistic performances. The project is based upon an idea of “total” theatre, interdisciplinary, where dance is a unique amalgam of music, song, mime and acting, intertwined at the same time with painting, design and visual arts. The performances will be designed as part of the creative workshops by four directors-authors, expert musicians and choreographers who later realize some stages in the identified European cultural centres in order to select among artists and professionals the participants to the project. Thereafter the creative and productive phase will start. All team members, composers, dancers, actors, mimes, musicians, painters, designers, artists, technical directors and professionals from different European countries, will work together to produce “total” performances, in a space either physical and cultural, made of creativity and innovation, based upon dialogue, comparison, research and experimentation. The produced performances, will be represented in front of an audience of insiders (directors-organizers of festivals, promotion agencies, cultural centres, institutions, etc.) in some European capitals to facilitate their programming in the show circuit at the conclusion of the project. The performances production will be accompanied by other activities, such as the creation of a website and a promotional catalogue. Finally, we held an international Conference, with the participation of representatives from various European cultural centres to remember the figure of Richard Wagner in the bicentenary of his birth and deepen his conception of theatre (Theatre of Bayreuth). The Conference will also point out the state of national legislations adopted by various European countries supporting live interdisciplinary performance in order to suggest legislative updates to promote interdisciplinary creative.
