The Italian Cultural Institute in Copenhagen is hosting an intermedial performance , “La soluzione poetica”, a homage to Valerio Magrelli, poet, author, literary critic, one of the greatest intellectuals of our time. The performance – to be held on 19 May – is written and directed by Federica Altieri and taken to Denmark to be staged by ‘Associazione Appercezioni’.
Starting from the poetic word and through Magrelli’s anthropological vision of contemporary society, a very diverse cast of artists will offer spectators an itinerant, immersive journey across music, acting, video arts, performance, installations and photography, developing the director’s new methodology, aimed at bringing Artist and Audience together in an innovative way.
“La soluzione poetica” is a transversal show featuring high-profile national and international artists: aside from Valerio Magrelli, Italian actress Maria Letizia Gorga, German-Portuguese actress Maria Ana Bernauer, musicians Ermanno Baron, Marcello Allulli and Francesco Diodati, set designer Francesco Bankeri, photographer Paola Favoino, the IKARUS company of the Nordisk Teaterlaboratorium and literary critic Giorgio Patrizi. Ole Meyer, the translator, will attend the event too. Indeed, the performance is based on Magrelli’s verses, translated into Danish for the first time by Meyer himself.
