Jacopo Miliani – Anyway not everyone will read it

Vision Forum member Jacopo Miliani joins forces with Jean-Louis Huhta and Carima Neusser to introduces time, light and bodily appearances in diverse media such as sculpture, drawing, installation, film and performance.
Anyway not everyone will read it is the result of a residency at MDT in Stockholm promoted by OuUnPo for ‘The Fugue’ project (February 2015). The festival took its starting point from the fugue state, a rare psychiatric disorder characterized by complete but reversible amnesia. The patient loses all traces of personal memory and identity and may undertake unplanned travels or wandering during which he may establish a temporary new identity.
The performance starts by inviting the audience into an undefined space in complete darkness. The darkness is a sensation that both the dancers and the spectators will share. ‘The Fugue’ has been considered a physical experience, but also a sort of ‘institutional critique’ of the ongoing debate about dance and choreography without reaching the specific identity of the signs.

The performance forms part of “Perform: Supposing layers of silence which is an invitation to experience and share three performances of artists that have strong connection to Tuscany – having been born, raised or based here. These works have been presented internationally – in London and Stockholm – but this program is the first public moment of these projects in Italy. The program is born from a collaboration between Villa Romana and Kinkaleri/is it my world?, and comes from their shared dedication to presenting contemporary cultural production, in this case the special charachter of works occupying the intersection between visual art and dance.

Miliani’s performance takes place Friday, November 13 at 7.30 pm at spazioK. via Santa Chiara 38/2, 59100 Prato.
