Synopsis
The encounter with Eliade's theatre, still little known in Italy, marks a new stage for the Telluris Associati company. Through the staging of this piece, the Galleria dell'incompiuto (Gallery of the Unfulfilled) is born: for an indefinite theatre, which wants to question itself above all on the new creations on the contemporary stage. In The Endless Column, text and words become surfaces that can be walked on and physically inhabited, calligraphy in motion. The works of the Romanian sculptor Brâncuși are stripped bare and reduced to their essence of fluctuating and impalpable forms that appear only at intervals, dislocated on the plane of the dream, where the encounter between actor and spectator takes place. The search for the original, running through the artist's entire creation, seems to reach a point of no return when Brâncuși is content to repeat the same forms, recopying his already famous masterpieces. In turn, Mircea Eliade seeks an answer to the question of the reasons for this choice. The meanings manifest themselves in the relationship between theater and the sacred, between the opera and its craftsman, between written words and body movements, perhaps hidden in the ecstasy of sacrilege. The superimpositions of images flow onto visual surfaces, onto the stage space, confronting the physical concreteness of the actor, as if an unseen being wanted to appear and incarnate, despite the frictions and resistances opposed by current reality.
The show also has Romanian subtitles and will take place on Tuesday, May 22, at 7:00 p.m., at the Arcadia Hall. The ticket price is 10 lei.
