Beschreibung

VIE Festival inaugurated in 2005 as an attempt to experience contemporary times, discover new identities and individuals in the world of live performance. It is an annual event held in the month of October in some cities of Emilia Romagna Region. Organizer and founder is ERT Fondazione Teatro Nazionale based in Modena with the financial support of Fondazione Cassa di Risparmio di Modena. The project issued from the successful experience of Le vie dei festival which, during the decade 1994/2004, has welcomed in Modena from the mid October to the mid December, some of the most interesting protagonists of Italian and international summer festivals. Among them, Carmelo Bene, Thierry Salmon, Lev Dodin, Peter Brook, Maguy Marin, Joseph Chaikin, Philip Glass, Robert Wilson and Peter Stein are worth mentioning. VIE Festival focuses on contemporary creations, offering the responsibility of identifying, of searching for the power of new forces, of finding the artists able to explore the spaces where stage arts get into contact, of discovering the expressive possibilities of interaction between theatre, dance, music, cinema and visual arts. The concept of contemporary is immediately connected to complexity, something moving rapidly in its indeterminateness. Artistic research acts vertically, digging in depth. It does not indicate solutions, it rather raises some doubts. It is inclined to the “uncertain”. Mutual fecundation is a fertile space, a space for always new, original and surprising mixes. The research for new languages always originates from an urgent reflection on the contemporary world, from the need for new contents. The Festival will present a wide range of artists who will find themselves faced with a plurality of spaces, in the aim of showing different levels work, poetry and looks stimulating curiosity and urgencies, including the less codified ones. The number of languages will involve different audiences, in order to overcome the common prejudice, which sees the contemporary as a synonym for unintelligible and exclusive. The Festival also stands out as a place for production or co-production of original works that will be created specifically to access the international network later. In addition to the shows, VIE offers a well-structured program of collateral activities involving the community in readings, debates, meetings, video-installations and conferences.

Follow your red thread throughout VIE

VIE Festival keeps exploring contemporary live performance by proposing and intersecting different stage arts. From theatre to dance, from music to cinema, artistic research investigates further deeper without giving any solution, if anything doubting and inspiring reflection. 

This XIIth edition’s doubts and reflections are, as usual, the result of the work of Italian and international artists, of emerging youngsters and stage masters such as Theodoros Terzopoulos, Oskaras Koršunovas, Juozas Budraitis. 

Along with a little tribute to Chinese stage arts represented by Wang Mengfan, Li Jianjun and by the students of the Central Academy of Drama in Beijing, there are several red threads connecting this year’s proposals. Cinema is the first one: the use of cinematographic techniques and devices connects Michèle Anne De Mey and Jaco Van Dormael’s Kiss & Cry to the collective histories of Berlin, the hand-painted frames of Gianluigi Toccafondo for C’mon Tigre live concert video projections up to the narrative videos by Luca Brinchi and Daniele Spanò to end with Anne-Cécile Vandalem’s stage set. 

Music is the second red thread playing the leading role in C’mon Tigre’s show, enhancing the work of Stefano Ricci and being the main tool for Vandalem’s writing of her musical theatre. Freedom, censorship and discomfort stand as another thread. 

The hell “on earth” is the Sartre’s everyday one staged by Andrea Adriatico, but it’s also the one of the Russian prisons, background for Belarus Free Theatre’s latest work about persecuted artists, featuring Pussy Riot Maria Alyokhina at her first acting experience. Being free as an artist may just mean having the opportunity of staging a text in a way that corresponds to one’s own style and experience, and this is very often denied by author rights holders. 

This has been recently the case for Motus whose demand for the rights of Genet’s Splendid – to be staged with an entirely female cast - was rejected; though, their latest creation draws inspiration from this denial. Painting and drawing are the thread connecting Virgilio Sieni’s tribute to Giorgio Morandi and the show featuring two of the most talented Italian illustrators, Stefano Ricci and Gianluigi Toccafondo. The last red thread is future. 

And future stands for young people, those experiencing the discomfort described by Swedish Mattias Andersson and by Babilonia Teatri, but also new emerging Festival artists (ErosAntEros, CollettivO CineticO, Gli Omini, Piergiorgio Milano, Carullo Minasi) together with the students of the four acting schools of Prospero Project including actors and playwrights from ERT professional school directed by Antonio Latella: they will be presenting a project on Atreids ancestry leading us, once more, through a ‘theatre ecstasy’.
