The figure of Marina Abramović, who used herself and her own story as a work of art, will lead us on this discovery. Through gentle guidance and exercises, we will discover that it is possible to create a work of art using our own body, its shapes, movements, gestures, and breath.

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.

Siamo entusiasti di inaugurare gres art 671, nella sua forma definitiva, con Marina Abramović, artista di fama mondiale che ha sempre posto l'osservatore al centro delle proprie opere e della propria arte. Il nostro polo culturale è nato proprio con l’ambizione di coinvolgere quanto più possibile i visitatori, facendoli interagire con lo spazio e le opere, rendendoli parte attiva del percorso. Dopo la preview in occasione della Capitale Italiana della Cultura 2023, ospitare ora "between breath and fire" significa aspirare ad avere, in un’unica prospettiva, la visione di un’artista straordinaria con la missione di un luogo culturale, un connubio perfetto che ci onora e che certamente saprà suscitare grandi emozioni.
