Stendalì - suonano ancora | una sagra contemporanea

curated by Ilaria Leonetti and Rosita Ronzini 

April 28 - 29, 2023

Ph. Francesco Enriquez

Two days dedicated to the investigation of new ritual recordings between contemporary folklore and tradition.

Through movement, sound, theatricality, the repetitiveness of gestures; magical and ritual techniques release the person's existential dramas and repressions before the eyes of the community. In a form of shared exorcism, body and spirit are at the centre of a performative act in a circumscribed time and space.

Stendalì - suonano ancora | una sagra contemporanea (Stendalì - play again | a contemporary festival), together with partners from the fields of music, art and architecture, aims to investigate different audiences for contemporary arts through a revival of the collective and shared moment of the festival.

The artists involved are: Giuseppe Di Liberto, Gaia Ginevra Giorgi and Vittoria Assembri, Alice Minervini and Ricardo Guimarães, Agostino Quaranta.

A project in collaboration with OPERA Festival, curated by Ilaria Leonetti and Rosita Ronzini.

Alla romana
by Panopticon

April 29  

Alla romana is a lunch shared between creative minds, where the table and food provide a useful moment to exchange new ideas, make new friends and generate new stimuli. It was an opportunity for exchange between the artists involved for Stendalì - suonano ancora | una sagra contemporanea festival and friends of viaraffineria.

For Stendalì - suonano ancora, Panopticon in collaboration with the graphic designer and researcher Michelangelo Greco produced a publishing project with the curatorial and critical contributions of the curators and artists involved on the project concept together with a photographic documentation of the interventions and performances by the photographer Enriquez. The publication will be presented in May 2025.
