Qu'est-ce que ils ont en commun la pensée scientifique, l'art et l'enfance?
C'est la question sur la quelle les Piccoli Principi travaillent depuis quelque mois, en vue du nouveaux spectacle «Scientifique!»

When I found myself contemplating Giorgio Brogi’s installation for the first time, I immediately thought of how much music there was in his work, in fact so much that it could be defined as a magnificent chromatic score. Looking at this elegant composition of coloured veils, it was natural to speak of colours orchestrated into a crescendo and decrescendo of shades, modulations of height and width generating a placid but vigorous rhythm, refined and effective harmonization of the transparency and opacity of fabrics. Immersed in this fascinating scenario I realized that I was listening rather than looking, experiencing the imperious seduction of a language without words. From the silence of this intense aesthetic experience unexpected sounds issued forth, far-off voices almost like whispers, the sound of trickling water in radiators, strange, inexplicable creaking noises. Suddenly, the space was no longer magnificently inhabited by the installation alone but also by an invisible world of sound, which unfurled according to mysterious rules: the sounds of the environment with their tone, intensity, duration, rhythm and, above all, their marvellous freedom of expression, had become models, traces to be elaborated to construct the musical universe of Ba Ba.
The "Ba Ba" score consists of different sound universes which alternate and merge. The first, made up of computer-created recorded sounds, evokes the “sounds” that populate our everyday life, the second is a recorded human voice which, thanks to the exceptional singing performance, produces sounds that are hard to define. Two worlds with different vocations: one, that of sounds, which becomes music, and the other, the human voice, which becomes noise. A mobility of environments that echoes the subtle play of cross-references between painting and architecture in Brogi’s work. Then there is the universe of interpreters who with their precise and symmetrical movements produce striking and unexpected sounds: wisp of breath, the clapping of hands, the weird sound of bracelets the metal tinkling of peg-boxes, the swishing of costumes. Silence is also a structuring compositional elements of "Ba Ba". Silence is a primordial condition for entering into close contact with every sound. In this score, vacuity has the function of exalting the apparent randomness of sound and confirming that, as in Brogi’s work, compositional solidity can be combined with freedom and mobility. The aim of BaBa’s musical structure is to ensure that the path of the sound waves which meet and interact each time suggests a different point of view on the fascinating installation: art has nothing to do with comprehension but rather with experience, affirmed John Cage, art is the marvellous attempt to open up our minds to unsuspected possibilities, unlike those that we like, remember and already know.
Véronique Nah

The show Different, written and interpretated by Véronque Nah, will be presented on the 2nd March 2017 at 9.00 p.m. in the Cinema Teatro Colonna in Brescia for a young and adults audience.

Identity, diversity, voluntary or innocent racism are important topics which the show faces in a « singular » way: on the stage, Véronique Nah tells herself, revealing with lightness and humour, the complexity of the human communication often filled with ambiguities, with stereotypes and with deformations of the reality.
Suggestive music, dances and costumes accompany Véronique Nah in this intimate journey which she shares with the public: an opportunity for the spectator to travel with the imagination to distant lands but also, as in a mirror effect, to wonder about its own identity.

Visita in forma di spettacolo
tra fisica e metafisica
di e con
Alessandro Libertini e Véronique Nah

Una produzione Ferrara Arte e Eni in occasione della mostra De Chirico a Ferrara. Metafisica e avanguardie e della mostra scientifica Fisica e metafisica? organizzata dal Sistema Museale d'Ateneo di Ferrara e il Dipartimento di Fisica e Scienze della Terra.

"Ferrara, De Chirico, Bongiovanni e altri tesori" è il titolo della visita in forma di spettacolo che Alessandro Libertini e Véronique Nah hanno realizzato in occasione della mostra che Ferrara dedica a Giorgio de Chirico. L'intervento dei due artisti si è svolto all’interno della mostra al Palazzo dei Diamanti e in luoghi limitrofi ricollegabili alle esperienze di de Chirico a Ferrara e alla sua pittura.
In un piacevole itinerario fisico e mentale, i protagonisti della visita spettacolo hanno portato il pubblico degli adulti e dei ragazzi a scoprire alcuni aspetti fondanti della poetica del pittore della metafisica.   
"Bisogna tacere quando si penetra la profondità di un quadro, quando si gira l'angolo dei suoi muri, e non solo dei suoi muri. Allora la luce e le ombre, le linee e gli angoli cominciano a parlare, e anche la musica si fa intendere, la musica nascosta che non si sente. Ciò che ascolto non ha alcun valore, non esiste altro che quello che i miei occhi vedono aperti e ancora di più chiusi".
Giorgio de Chirico
