The dance show inspired by one of Verga’s masterpieces at the archaeological area of ​​Solunto

By Pietro Zizzo In , , , ,

It will be the dance show inspired by one of Giovanni Verga’s masterpieces to mark the turning point of “Visione Meridiana”, the artistic project conceived by Aurelio Gatti and Vito Meccio and promoted by the Regional Department of Cultural Heritage and Sicilian Identity, dedicated to the Mediterranean man.
Friday 26 August, at 9 pm (free admission subject to availability), the archaeological area of ​​Solunto, in Santa Flavia, will host the performance “La Lupa”, choreography by Carlotta Bruni born from an idea by Aurelio Gatti, with the dancers Lucia Cinquegrana, Polina Lukanska and Matteo Gentiluomo.
Giovanni Verga’s “La lupa” prompts us to question the power and impotence of social schemes and conventions. The she-wolf seems to live beyond good and evil, in a dimension of excess of being, and all those who come across her can only take refuge in the “institutions” of religion and the law. Reason and religion are the great allies and the great absentees from the horizon of this novel, published in 1880.
We speak of the wolf as we would speak of the devil, because its ability to deconstruct the human rational equilibrium is comparable only to the evil force of Satan, with which only religion can and must oppose, but even Father Angiolino of Santa Maria di Gesù, a true servant of God, he had lost his soul for her.
In the text the relationship that is established between temptation, religion and magic is emblematic, and the choreographer Carlotta Bruni is on this aspect that centers her creation. Love and death fight hard without any possibility of compromise. Beyond the rather simple fable, the attention lies in human tragedy in necessarily strong colors. It is here that the authenticity of realism, of which Verga is one of the greatest exponents, gives us back an archaic, rough world, with primeval emotions, in which eros and ethos fight in a duel that can only have its epilogue in death. .
“Visione Meridiana” is a project carried out by the Agricantus Cooperative of Palermo and by Estreusa of Caltanissetta with the support of the national network of Stone Theaters. The program ends on Sunday 28 August at the Arab Bath of Cefalà Diana with the staging of “PerSéFone” by Ghianni Ritsos, with Elisa Di Dio directed by Filippa Ilardo.

Personal exhibition in Villa Filangeri, by the painter Valeria Rotolo Romynartnaif

By Pietro Zizzo In ,

From 23 to 26 July 2022 at Villa Filangeri in Santa Flavia (PA), there will be the personal exhibition of the painter Valeria Rotolo in art Romynartnaif from Bagheria. The exhibition will follow the following times from 17.00 to 23.00.
The exhibition is sponsored by the Municipality of Santa Flavia and in collaboration with the Pro Loco of Santa Flavia.
Romynartnaif offers a series of works depicting all the most representative monuments of our territory and that of Palermo.
The artist has already exhibited in several exhibitions where he exhibited paintings representing “Ballarò” (historic market of Palermo) and other points of the city such as the well-known “Piazza Pretoria” or the “Cathedral of Palermo”.
In this Bagherese exhibition, the artist wants to represent the eighteenth-century villas of Bagheria and its most important monuments, with a naive style where history blends with the contemporary that comes to life through the gushing and understood colors, intensifying the salient architectural forms. The canons of representation introduced in the works simplify the forms resulting in a simplification of the color and in the conception of the perspective plane. Typical style with a naive imprint with the intent of representing a social reality with a fable-like incipit.
Valeria Rotolo was born in Palermo in 1975 and followed her schooling in Bagheria at the institute of art, over the years cultivating her passion for painting with an original style of representing places that remain etched in her soul. Some of the works produced so far have been exhibited at the Palazzo Ducale in Genoa in an exhibition held in March 2022, another exhibition was held in Rome in April 2022 and another in Milan art designer week 2022, in addition to participation at the exhibition of the international fair of Montecarlo 2022 and participation in various contests.
