DIGIFETIVAL 07 WEBSITE
Theatre of the future (?)...
To the nostalgic about “the theatre of the past” I’ll ask, to be consistent, to switch off the mobiles and to go to the theatre driving in a carriage...
I don’t know if it’s good of if it’s bad, but I think technological evolution has deeply changed the beating of time, the rhythm of our lives (and this is only the beginning) and also our perception of so-called “communication”.
And where’s the theatre in all these changes? Is theatre an island that must be defended from the elevations of the water and in which we should seek for a refuge in the name of the”gone times”, or is it relating with the elevation of multimedia tides?
My only certainties in this tumultuous transformation of languages are a beautiful Brecht’s sentence: “Don’t build on good pasta times, but on the bad one today..” and an Edgar Varèse’s objection: “In opposition to what is thought, an artist is never early as to his times: the majority of the people is late…”
These thoughts, not only have signed all my personal creative way, but they are also the foundation of this first Digifestival that will be, until 2009, an annual meeting that is born thanks to the contribution of the Ministry of Arts and Culture, of Regione Liguria and many other friends and partners .
There will be four days extremely intense: two days more related to workshops (December 6|7) at D.A.M.S. of Imperia, and two days of shows at the Palazzo Ducale in Genoa (December 8|9) .
Surely four days that aren’t thought as a map of references but as a stimulus, nothing more than this, to reflect on the modern speaking modalities of men, that represent a fundamental idea of the theatre itself.
