Description Of Opportunity:
Performing Art 3 Days / Prolegòmeni e Gómene
Collettivo Superazione – Teatro Rossi Aperto in Pisa, Italy
28.29.30 – 06 – 2018

Starting from a free analysis of the concept of /Prolegòmeni e Gómene (Prolegomena and Hawsers)/, the artists are asked to develop that topic in the form of a performance, in accordance with the following Regulation. The performance shall be played live during the 3 days Performing Arts Festival which will take place at Teatro Rossi Aperto in Pisa.

Prolegòmeni e Gómene (Prolegomena and Hawsers)

Prolegòmeni – esplanatory dissertations introducing a theory, the subject of a study, a doctrine.

Gómene – twisted hemp hawsers, mooring ropes for boats.

Hence: a line of words meant to validate other words, to unite or divide; a material line supported by gestures, to leave or land. Prolegòmeni e Gómene, they have much in common in addition to the wonderful and suggestive assonance of the terms; they show two different yet similar relational ways implying a motion which is both approaching and detaching. Thoughts have a long way to go before recognizing the docking (or sailing) place in a harbour, in a location with a sense of unknown, belonging, somebody. Much of the definite motion, be it leaving or coming back, becomes more precise through reasoning and speculation. Individual behaviours leading to collective meanings cannot help introducing personal thoughts and actions. It can happen in art, inside or outside the “polis”, but it’s always part of an adventure.

How To Apply:
1 – Criteria for participation
The call is open to single artists or groups working with contemporary languages in the
field of performances.
Both unpublished projects and projects that have already been shown will be accepted, provided that they are suitable to be played in the non-conventional spaces of Teatro Rossi Aperto and relevant to the proposed theme.
Each artist/company can present only one project.
9 to 12 performances will be selected.

2- How to participate

• 1. The application form included in this open call, filled in all its parts;
• 2. A PDF document illustrating/describing the performance and containing all the information needed to understand its execution and poetics. Maximum 2 pages. If the performance has already been shown, the document should also contain a link to a full video documentation of the work. Application forms and PDF documents shall be submitted no later than May 31st 2018 at 23:59 to the e-mail address [email protected].

The selected artists will be provided with:

• Spaces for the performances

the selection.
