The performance conceived by Caterina Gobbi for DOPO? creates a sonic environment where the wind takes center stage. The wind becomes a language, a shared means of communication between species and ecosystems. It is deeply tied to history, deities, and the psyche; scientific studies have shown that it can alter serotonin levels, influencing mood states. At the same time, the sounds of the wind have a remarkable ability to evoke tranquility and relaxation.
This event is part of Performing Architecture ↗, a city-wide festival running from April 3–13 across five neighborhoods in Milan’s south side, tracing a path between architecture and performing arts. Five districts, five visions—a laboratory of experimentation where architecture becomes body, sound, ritual, and refuge. A collective exercise in rethinking urban living, turning spaces into places of encounter, gesture, and listening.
Performing Architecture is a project born from the collaboration between BASE Milano and DOPO? and is one of the winning projects of the Festival Architettura, promoted by the Italian Ministry of Culture to support and enhance contemporary architecture in Italy.
