L’obiettivo è tracciare il filo ideale che unisce il passato al presente e le eroine delle opere di Donizetti (nell’interpretazione paradigmatica di Maria Callas) a un progetto di Marina Abramović, donna-simbolo dell’arte contemporanea, come la Callas prima di lei, alla quale ha dedicato Seven Deaths, performance in cui convivono arte visiva, opera lirica e tensione dialettica tra l’evocazione di Maria Callas e l’immanenza della stessa Abramović, donne in cui vita e arte convergono.

Questa iniziativa si propone come nuova occasione di approfondimento legata alle suggestioni che provengono dalle opere donizettiane e al fascino che l’opera continua a esercitare sugli artisti di oggi.

L’attrice bergamasca Matilde Facheris interpreterà inoltre un monologo inedito scritto da Alberto Mattioli e dedicato a Maria Callas, mentre il soprano Eleonora Boaretto, accompagnata dal pianista Giulio Zappa, eseguirà pagine di Donizetti.

Seven Deaths is an immersive cinematic experience based on seven untimely demises that Abramović undergoes on screen, set to the soundtrack of seven solos by Maria Callas. It continues Abramović’s fascination with opera and Callas in particular, a passion that began in her teenage years in Belgrade. This immersive journey through the life of one of the most influential performance artists of our time, paired with the soundtrack of Maria Callas most famous arias, offers a profound and existential experience.

We are delighted to inaugurate gres art 671 in its final form with Marina Abramović, a world-renowned artist who has always placed the audience at the heart of her work. Our cultural hub was conceived with the ambition of engaging visitors through interactive spaces and artworks, fostering an active role in the artistic experience. Following a preview during the Bergamo Brescia Italian Capital of Culture 2023, hosting "between breath and fire" marks the convergence of an extraordinary artist's vision and a cultural hub's mission. We are proud of this perfect synergy and confident that it will evoke profound emotions.
