Unclassifiable Zip: the impersonal masks of Carlo Quartucci and Giuliano Scabia (1965)

If these had made one poem’s period,
And all combin’d in beauty’s worthiness,
Yet should there hover in their restless heads
One thought, one grace, one wonder, at the least,
Which into words no virtue can digest.
C. Marlowe, Tamberlaine the Great (1, V, II)

“Today’s factory is a lager too”: the emancipation of sound in La fabbrica illuminata by Luigi Nono and Giuliano Scabia (1964)

Nono’s continuous references were primarily to Bach, to his
a cappella choirs. (…) As if language for Nono (the sound of
language, or a part of it), was out there, in those choruses and
voices from the processions and the “passions” of the
workers and the farmers.
Giuliano Scabia (1990)

The logic of the possible

The logic of the possible is the formula on which to focus a discourse about the second day of The Battle for Theatre¬01 October, which opened to the words of Carlo Quartucci and Carla Tatò, leading figures in the experimental theatre that, in the Conference held in Ivrea in 1967, found… more

On prefiguring words in-common

by Silvia Bottiroli and Piersandra Di Matteo

The remains of the actor: the gestures and the archives

What I am presenting today are the first findings in an ongoing research study within the ERC project titled InCommon. Performing Arts in Italy from 1959 to 1979, directed by Annalisa Sacchi and currently underway at the IUAV University in Venice. The first of the case studies I am examining is the theatrical… more

THE BATTLE FOR THEATRE¬01

The battle for theatre began with an aesthetic issue. The experiences, the practices, the relationships between the bodies, the organization of the spaces, the acoustic modulations, the vocal manifestations, the legacy of memories and bonds constitute the horizons of this call to arms.

Of the common: notes on method

Nothing today appears to demand as accurate and rigorous a consideration as the concept of common; however, as things stand now, nothing appears to be less practiced. We are addressing a distant horizon, yet to come, but one that must be open to consideration and as such redefined on… more

Spoleto, 1969: the Orlando furioso narrated by RAI

A new manifesto: the Ivrea conference and the invention of experimental theatre

What remains latent when the winds of change begin to blow, often needs content to make it manifest. The three-day conference held in Ivrea in 1967 (10-12 June) focused on Italian New Theatre, shaped its most significant meanings in the text published below. The distance of reception, the geography of the questions… more

On April 21 1967, at the Teatro La Ringhiera in Rome, Leo de Berardinis and Perla Peragallo premiered their first production La faticosa messinscena dell’Amleto di William Shakespeare. Met with a certain degree of perplexity at its Roman premiere, the production was later consecrated at the conference in Ivrea, which in June of that… more

At the limits of performance: Cottimisti or everyday life bursts in

Cottimisti premiered at the Teatro in Trastevere (Rome) in March 1977. This work – true to the authors’ innovative approach – disputes the logic of traditional theatre, disrupting some of its coordinates, including the notion of performance and the temporal codes of the mise-en-scène.
The scene is a construction site.… more

Performing public space: Rem&Cap’s environmental installation

In the turbulent years of social dissent that would lead to the protest movements in 1977, two atypical artists from Rome, Claudio Remondi and Riccardo Caporossi, distinguished themselves from the very start with an operative experimentation that, while conceived within the context of the cultural and political demands of that historical era, traced a different direction… more
