Is it possible to make coexisting in the same space Past and Future? ARKAD is a project of connection between physical and digital places. In which Era are we in? This question runs throughout Sauvage‘s non-time, a performance of live drone noise music and contemporary circus, drawn on a spatial architecture of archaic natural elements, where plastic shreds stuck between lava stones, branches and organic material revealing the man’s artifice as a predominant contemporary sign on the natural world. A cave, a primitive being hidden among black felts, an alchemical cyber, an aerial rope which lines as a parallel between opposite and parallel worlds, with a soul and a independent movement from the movement of its performer. A vertical line that breaks the horizontal continuum and the principle of cause/effect of the linear time, a line that re-discusses past and future to reorganize the present, bouncing between the desire for a return to an archaic, archetypal and instinctual past, the fear of losing what the present holds from progress, and a hypothesis of Future that stands out as a tightrope walker in a fragile balance between the apocalypse and new possibles beginnings.
It was awarded with the prize of the 7th edition of the Italian Council (Mibact, with the support of the Directorate General for Contemporary Creativity of the Ministry for Cultural Heritage and Activities and for Tourism). The ARKAD project is also included in A.R.T. – Art Rethinks Transformation organized by MeNO, with the artistic direction of Andrea Cusumano and contributions from the Department of Culture of the Municipality of Palermo and the Department of Tourism of the Sicily Region.
