FOCUS HUMAN

Last focus of the season, HUMAN offers performances that address the times of today by placing man and his rights, his strengths, his contradictions and sufferings at the centre. After the short century, which showed the brutality of humanity and also the ability to get involved again, what have we become? Who do we want to be?

Hobsbawn said that the 1900s had ended in a global disorder of an unclear nature and without a clear mechanism to end or control it. Are we facing the new twenties, with the naïve and glitzy consciousness of what is happening around us?

Will the homo sapiens, well defined and described by Harari, be able to make sense of the world he created? And understand global developments and distinguish the mistake from what is correct?

These, the shows of FOCUS VIRTUAL.

CONVENTION
At the end of not only the year but also of the three-year period and of a path that until today has led us to invite the most representative names of that genre defined Theatre of reality, we will dedicate two days to a convention of reflection and comparison on what future prospects they are outlined in the relationship and in the action of the theatre on reality.
An important opportunity to take stock of the current situation in Europe but also to open up new questions and questions. For the occasion, some of the artists hosted over the years and the operators and critics most sensitive to the topic will be invited.

FOCUS VIRTUAL

In the present, increasingly built on virtual reality, augmented reality, reality shows and fake news, a reflection dedicated to virtual reality could not miss. How much does the immersive experience, now increasingly rampant, allow us to deepen our reality or is it reduced to a simple act of gamification?

Some studies argue that virtual reality can be interpreted as a machine of empathy capable of making us experience different and difficult situations. Is there a difference between policemen who wear VR to imagine themselves as criminals and spectators who virtually experience the violence suffered by migrants? Is there a precise boundary between reality and fiction?

These, the shows of FOCUS VIRTUAL.

FOCUS GLOBAL

The FOCUS is canceled, according to the regional ordinance of 04/03/20.
All the shows are postponed.

Reality tells us that we live in the era of globalisation, made up of incredible potential and ease, despite the economic, political and social distortions that always accompany the great passages. The difficulty of finding new ethical codes, different ways of living together and distributing wealth is answered with closure, anachronistic nationalisms, fear. Is there a possible way?

If globalisation implies the development of different transnational lifestyles, is Ulrich Beck right when he says that “to survive you need a cosmopolitan realism”?

These, the shows of FOCUS GLOBAL.
