The Place for Adventure

Discussion with Philippe Quesne, Director of Santarcangelo Festival Silvia Bottiroli, Director of the School of Visual Theatre Guy Gutman (Jerusalem), choreographer Tami Lebovits (Tel Aviv), researcher Livia Andrea Piazza (Brussels), architect Paride Piccinini (Forli).
Together with Philippe Quesne, we will engage in a discussion on today’s places
for adventure; keeping in mind, as Foucault wrote, that “in civilizations without boats, dreams dry up, espionage takes the place of adventure and the police takes the place of pirates”.

Joint Adventures

Collective reading with Mammalian Diving Reflex, Benjamin Verdonck, Pieter Ampe, Director of Santarcangelo Festival Silvia Bottiroli, Director of the School of Visual Theatre Guy Gutman (Jerusalem), choreographer Tami Lebovits (Tel Aviv), researcher Livia Andrea Piazza (Brussels), architect Paride Piccinini (Forli).
A relevant text is read and discussed together. Theory is placed next to performances and a dialogue between the two is opened up in order to raise some questions on conflict and the possibilities of working together, which constitutes the base of every joint effort.

Madlove. A Designer Asylum Artist Talk
September 10 16.00 / In English
In this informal artist talk the vacuum cleaner will present the outcomes of a workshop at Riga Psychiatric Centre, where he has worked with patients to imagine what a utopia and willfully optimist model of a mental health hospital could be like and to create a desirable and playful space to ‘go mad’, countering the popular myth that mental illness is dangerous and scary.
