The sculptural installation by Lemonot, the choreography by the international performers arisandmartha and two in-depth talks between BASE Milano and miart, for a two-day event dedicated to conviviality. Welcome to Art Week 2024.
Friday, April 12th with the inauguration of TALAMO — the installation by Lemonot (Sabrina Morreale and Lorenzo Perri) — BASE Milan kicks off a series of initiatives created for the programming of the city’s Art Week and miart 2024.
The performative sculpture, created in collaboration with Xavier Madden and Katja Banović, introduces the theme of conviviality. Drawing inspiration from the archaic or scientific meanings of “Talamo” – the wedding bed, the stage to represent the liturgical dramas in the Middle Ages, the part of the brain for the transmission of sensory signals to the rest of the body – Lemonot wanted to synthesize them in a mobile installation, creating a convivial architecture consisting of an immense but light bed, which becomes a stage in dynamic suspension between floor and ceiling.
Friday 12th and Saturday 13rd April the Greek performers arisandmartha (Aris Papadopoulos and Martha Pasakopoulou), will activate the installation of Lemonot with TALAMO — In a restless state, four actions in which animated and inanimate elements will merge with its habitable forms — family but at the same time otherworldly. The bodies of the performers will seem to emerge from TALAMO, shaped by the structure itself, intertwining, searching and reinventing their own space inside. The opera’s configurations and the duo’s fantastic configurations – whose work lies halfway between stage and site-specific dance performances – will involve the audience in a ritual of exceptionally ordinary lights, sounds and gestures, resulting in the surreal and gradually nullifying the boundary between matter and the human body.
TALAMO is an entity in itself, with a permeable and traversable surface that allows you to observe its mechanisms: a living object, always active, that will welcome the physicality of each, placing it in a dimension of constant and collective dialogue.
