Indirizzo: Brussels, Belgium

GOALS: to involve the Bozar personnel, students from the Erg – école de recherche graphique, école supérieure des arts and from Visible – Office and Project Space in a direct approach to the sense of the Rebirth-day through the activation of its physical form.

A brief presentation of the Terzo Paradiso was held by Bozar’s exhibition coordinator Alberta Sessa, and Cittadellarte’s CEO Paolo Naldini, concerning the need at a global level of being responsible of the planet in the quest for of a new renaissance blending technology, nature and intelligence; while Dena Foundation and Cittadellarte president Giuliana Setari focused on the importance of the involvement of employees and working people of Bozar as an active motor of the institution’s mission.

Marinella Senatore had already visited Bozar Horta Hall, spoken with the technicians, especially regarding the lighting that was transformed in red, and envisioned her interpretation and direction of the performance.

She instructed the participating people on how to form the 3 circles composing the symbol of the Third Paradise: the key word was fluidity of movements and touching by hand, elbow, feet, was highly encouraged. At the end people lied down on the floor in complete relaxation, still present and concerned.

The 5 members of the Choral “N’Faly Kouyaté and Namun Group” opened the performance entering the Hall rhythmically, their voices accompanied by their movements, accentuating the pathos and emotion that profoundly affected the spectators.

This performance was held in the framework of the exhibition The Yellow Side of Sociality – Italian Artists in Europe, a coproduction Bozar/Dena Foundation, on the occasion of the Italian Presidency of the Council of the EU.
