Davide Iodice - Promemoria
Description
In Venice, a new chapter in the special project of Davide Iodice begins, the result of a workshop-based process in which “specialists of the stage” work alongside “specialists of reality.” After Pinocchio, che cos’è una persona, centred on the theme of diversity, Davide Iodice turns to fragility and care, dedicating a sustained artistic and social project to the residents of the Casa di Riposo S. Giobbe in Venice. The artistic team was welcomed for an extended period by the residents and by those who accompany, assist, and care for them on a daily basis, engaging with lived experiences, desires, hopes, memories and forgettings, which now become a collective and public narrative: a Promemoria for looking at the human with empathy.
“The theatre workshop is the privileged space in which to study the person, to attempt to free them from the mask—or through the mask. Through the mask, the person resonates, is amplified. And perhaps this is what theatre is for me: a natural instrument for amplifying the person—for amplifying people” (D. Iodice).
