Romaeuropa Festival 2017
Romaeuropa Festival 2017 is 100 days lasting journey through the stories of over three hundred international artists. We build a thematic and narrative map beyond usual performing arts' genres. Music, theatre, dance, new circus and digital art replaced by powerful stories, vision, 'selfies' and shareable experiences. Where are we now? That is the question REf17 is asking. The answer lies throughout the 24 different locations which from September 20 till December 2 transform Rome into the international cultural centre of contemporary arts' world. The very same question pushes us over performance to digital arts, with the eight edition of the Digitalife exhibit (7.10.17 - 7.1.18), shown for the first time in the Palazzo delle Esposizioni.

Dumb Type<br />
MEMORANDUM OR VOYAGE<br />
> 7.10.17 - 7.1.18<br />
> Palazzo<br />
delle Esposizioni<br />
Sin dal 1984 il collettivo giapponese Dumb Type ha segnato la<br />
storia del teatro-danza e delle arti visive con la sua innata capacità<br />
di muoversi agilmente nei territori della performing art,<br />
dell’installazione video, dell’architettura, del design e della musica<br />
per affermare un immaginario tecnologico, algido e al contempo<br />
lirico. Presentata per la prima volta al Museum of Contemporary<br />
Art di Tokyo nel 2014, l’istallazione video MEMORANDUM OR<br />
VOYAGE ripercorre in 18 minuti gli spettacoli storici della compagnia<br />
(OR del 1997, memorandum del 1999 e Voyage del 2002),<br />
rivistati da Shiro Takatani, in un montaggio capace di rielaborare<br />
le immagini di repertorio affiancandole a nuovi effetti visivi. Non<br />
un documento video, ma un’opera sensoriale, volta a dare vita a<br />
una nuova esperienza percettiva che combina le visioni di ieri (le<br />
stesse che hanno plasmato l’immaginario di un intera generazione<br />
di artisti) con gli strumenti tecnologici di oggi.<br />
Since 1984, Japanese group Dumb Type has played a key role in the history<br />
of theatre, dance and visual arts. Presented for the first time at the Museum<br />
of Contemporary Art Tokyo in 2014, the MEMORANDUM OR VOYAGE video<br />
installation runs through the company’s historical shows in 18 minutes (OR from<br />
1997, memorandum from 1999 and Voyage from 2002), revisited by Shiro Takatani<br />
in a montage that re-elaborates archive images by combining them with new<br />
visual effects.<br />
