RAZIONE K
Emergency food kit for theatre addicted
Razione K was the food ration of American soldiers during World War II.
For us, the RAZIONE K is almost like a small but substantial survival ration, “light and compact”. It is about doing and giving what is necessary to stay alive but dosing resources and energy. It is calibrating our strengths and weights, to be really ready to start again in the light of the changes that every event of this magnitude brings with it.
It is a change of pace with respect to the past, the sign of an intermediate year between a before, very clear and defined, and an after still to be written. On the one hand, it is a transitional year that brings to a close projects that have already begun but have not yet been presented to the public. On the other hand, it presents new ideas, following up on the peculiarities that have distinguished us over the years: audience participation, urban performance, attention to the present and research into new languages in the field of live performance.
There are no more focuses but a part 1 and a part 2. Continuing the metaphor of Razione K: a lunch and a dinner, a first course and a second course, a box 1 and a box 2. A first part that is concentrated from April to July and a second part that starts again in September and includes the autumn/winter until the end of 2021.
The desire to reiterate the importance of sharing projects and ideas with other realities of the artistic and cultural scene in Milan remains firm. Never as in the past year and in the current one has the need for relations, perspective exchanges and comparison on the future been so important.This confirms the collaboration with DANAE/Teatro delle Moire, Olinda/Da vicino nessuno è normale, IntercettAzioni, BASE, Stratagemmi, the Cooperativa Sociale Stripes, Terzo Paesaggio.
On a national level, ZONA K is a partner of In-Situ Italia, a cultural consortium for art in public space created together with Indisciplinarte of Terni in collaboration with BASE Milan, Sardegna Teatro of Cagliari and Pergine Festival in Trentino. “In-Situ Italia” gathers the Italian partners of “In-Situ”, the European platform created in 2003 and which today counts 19 partners from 13 countries. In the four-year period 2020-2024, the Italian consortium will promote the networking of skills and resources, collaborating within the European project “(Un)Common Spaces”.
Moreover, from this year ZONA K is among the new partners who have joined the Call for Digital Residencies conceived and promoted by Centro di Residenza della Toscana (Armunia – CapoTrave/Kilowatt), in partnership with Associazione Marchigiana Attività Teatrali AMAT, the Cooperative Anghiari Dance Hub, ATCL Lazio for Spazio Rossellini, the Centre of Residency Emilia-Romagna (L’Arboreto Teatro Dimora di Mondaino – La Corte Ospitale), the Luzzati Foundation Teatro della Tosse in Genoa.

PROJECT AND DEVICE
traces of a multimedia theatre.
This year, for the Human Rights Festival, we have decided to propose a program entitled PROJECT AND DEVICE – traces of a multimedia theatre in which we present three different examples of how theatre questions the crisis of democracy, the role of the media in shaping reality, and the new digital roads. In this sense, theatre is once again an instrument of civil reflection, not only for its contents but also for the devices used.
Valentina Kastlunger and Valentina Picariello, artistic directors of ZONA K, will introduce the meetings.
21 April, 16:30 – 17:00
THEATRE | Art, Algorithm and Automation. The journey of _Phase Nine with the Rimini Protokolls
with Riccardo Tabilio and Chiara Campara, artists of the collective work FASE NOVE // Assolo Urbano
The pandemic emergency has led to a division of social components into relevant and non-relevant. Artistic professions have not been included among the socially necessary. Should we think of a world without art and those who work in it? Can such a deep crisis be an opportunity? FASE NOVE // Assolo Urbano is an urban walk through the most important places for art in Milan, which become the stage for audio installations that, through interviews with various experts, confront the provocative question: Why does art exist?
22 April, 16:30 – 17:00
THEATRE | Play me: technological devices between gaming and live performance
with Andrea Ciommiento, creative director for Play Me (ZONE K)
Teenagers, hyper-connected and fragile, terrified and attracted by the image of themselves on social media, experts in sexting, video-gaming and binge drinking, owners of SmartPhones as an extension of their bodies. Do we really know them? In this performance the spectator will relate to them in an immersive experience. PLAY ME (ORIGINS PROJECT) is the result of work on the stories of young people encountered during the dramaturgical research phase in Turin and Milan. Production ZONA K, conceptual and dramaturgical support Agrupación Señor Serrano.
23 April, 16:30 – 17:00
THEATRE | The Mountain. Does the truth exist?
with Pau Palacios of Agrupación Señor Serrano
Climbing a mountain means overcoming difficulties to reach the top and see the world “as it is”. But often, when you look down from above, you see clouds and fog covering everything and the landscape is constantly changing. What is the world like then? What is the truth like? Does it exist? In The Mountain, the latest show by the award-winning Catalan company, the first Everest expedition with an uncertain outcome, Orson Welles with the War of the Worlds, a fake news website, a drone scanning the audience, snow, fragmented images and Vladimir Putin speaking contentedly about trust and truth converge.

One button. A player. A screen.
Here are the new barbarians. Incomprehensible to the eyes of the adult world. Teenagers, hyper-connected and fragile, terrified and attracted by the image of themselves on “social media”, experts in “sexting”, “video-games” and “binge drinking”, owners of Smartphones as an extension of their body. But what do we know about today’s teenagers?
A narrative short circuit from the origins of the video game to the origins of the iGeneration. An immersive experience in which to meet today’s teenagers through the use of new technologies. A path of creation that tells our identities – real and virtual – thanks to the comparison between generations.
In this performance the audience will find himself in relation to them. You can choose whether to confirm or question your expectations, fears and prejudices. The ultimate goal will be a “performative game” to generate an unprecedented and intimate encounter. PLAY ME (ORIGINS PROJECT) is the result of a work on the biographies of young people met in the stage of research and dramaturgical development between Turin and Milan.
What the sociologist Morin defines as “cinema of total authenticity”.
ZONA K presents a new production: PLAY ME (Origins Project). It continues the direction already taken with Generazione gLocale in 2017 with the involvement of children, the use of new stage devices and the creative and dramaturgical support of important names in the international scene, for this project the award-winning Catalan collective Agrupación Señor Serrano.

There is a widely diffused image that traces the history of ideas: climbing a mountain, overcoming all difficulties to reach its top and, once there, being able to see the world “as it is”. Reaching the truth and not just shadows and reflections. It is a beautiful image in all respects.
But is it really so? Often looking from above you can see nothing but clouds and fog covering everything or a landscape that changes according to the time of day or the weather. What is the world like then? How is the truth? Is there the truth? Is the truth the top of a mountain to be crowned and that’s all, or rather a cold and inhospitable path that must be continually walked?
In The Mountain, the latest show by the award-winning Catalan company, the first expedition to Everest converges, the outcome of which is still uncertain today, Orson Welles sowing panic with his radio program The War of the Worlds, badminton players who they play baseball, a fake news website, a drone scanning the audience, lots of snow, mobile screens, fragmented images, and Vladimir Putin speaking content with trust and truth.
A white and diaphanous stage. Miniatures to scale on practicables, a radio studio, a reproduction of Everest, portable projection screens and film tripods form a space halfway between a TV set, a museum and a badminton court. A network of ideas, stories, images, actions and concepts is the basis of The Mountain’s dramaturgical framework. With these materials, unfolded in layers that mix, creating unexpected connections, the show presents itself as an unmapped exploration of the myth of truth.

Anna Rispoli / Martina Angelotti (IT)
Launched as a research project on sharing and mutualized practices, A Certain Value immerses itself in the radical, artistic and human experiences of four European collectives of different practices: a group of inmates in the women’s prison, families of migrants and unaccompanied minors living in an occupied building, art who share a single bank account, eco-activist children from public schools or home schooling projects, worried about the fate of the planet… All these new voices collected in Rennes, Marseille, Brussels or Budapest have given birth to a hybrid form, where real conversations are edited into a fictional dialogue between the different collectives, inviting the public to slip into the shoes of the protagonists in a interactive script.
By reading out loud the protagonists of A Certain Value, the audience will have the opportunity to hear the plurality of forms that mutual aid can take, to ask themselves key questions about sharing and possibly to borrow the point for an evening of view of this “unknown” who lives the urgency to build a radical alternative to individualistic solitude, or this other that reinvents the powerful meaning of sharing every day.
ACV was created by Anna Rispoli, an artist and activist, and Martina Angelotti, an art curator, then converted into a dramaturgical text with the help of Celine Estenne, an author and performer.
The performance lands in Milan thanks to the design relationship between ZONA K and BASE Milano.

THE WALKS is an app with a series of walks by German theatre company, Rimini Protokoll. Each walk is a short audio experience for a specific place in your city, and an invitation to rediscover and interact with your environment.
It takes approximately 20 minutes to do an audio walk. Get going whenever you want. You decide how many of the walks you’d like to do and in what order. The stories and soundscapes in the short audio experiences are global in scope. “The Walks” connects people around the world in a local experience via the fundamental human action of walking.
Walking in public gained new meaning with the COVID-19 pandemic. An ancient, daily ritual became an integral part of the new normality. People meet, walk, stroll through neighborhoods, play in landscapes, and perceive their environment anew with every stride.
THE WALKS understands walking as a theatrical scenario – an audio-guided walk in parks, a staged walk in supermarkets or timed interactions on riverbanks. In every city, voices, sounds, and music turn familiar places into sites and landscapes into stages step by step through storytelling, dialogical situations, choreographic discoveries, or musical and rhythmic variations on walking. The title of every walk indicates where or how to do it: “Walk for a cemetery,” “Walk along the water,” or “Walk around a roundabout.”
THE WALKS is a production of Rimini Apparat co-produced by ZONA K

BIO
Helgard Haug, Stefan Kaegi and Daniel Wetzel founded the theatre-label Rimini Protokoll in 2000 and have since worked in different constellations under this name. Rimini Protokoll often develop their stage-works, interventions, performative installations and audio plays together with experts who have gained their knowledge and skills beyond the theatre. Furthermore, they like to transpose rooms or social structures into theatrical formats. Many of their works feature interactivity and a playful use of technology.
On top of that, Rimini Protokoll received the Mülheimer Dramatikerpreis for “Karl Marx: Das Kapital, Erster Band”, the German theatre award Faust, the Grand Prix Theatre from the Swiss Federal Office for Culture, the European Theatre Award, the Silver Lion at the Theatre Biennale in Venice, as well as the German Audio Play Award and the War Blinded Audio Play Prize.
Since 2003, the production office of Rimini Protokoll is in Berlin.

A project by ZONA K and Casa degli Artisti
The pandemic emergency led to a division of the social components into systemically relevant and not relevant. For many it was also a psychological polarization: between what is essential and what is superfluous. The artistic professions are not among those socially necessary.
Should we think of a world in which art will no longer play a role? Can we imagine a reality that cancels the existence of art and of those who work there? What relationship can art have with each of us in this state of crisis? Is something that has long since gotten stale about to end? Can such a profound crisis be an opportunity?
PHASE NINE || Urban Solo invites us to ask ourselves these questions in the context of the city. Nine important places for art in Milan – some iconic, others unusual – become the stage for nine audio installations which, through interviews with various experts, are confronted with a provocative question: why does art exist and not nothing?

BIO
Ekin Bozkurt (sound designer), Chiara Campara (filmmaker), Giulia Oglialoro (author, journalist), Riccardo Tabilio (author and dramaturg) and Francesco Venturi (composer) are the artists that the second open call of Casa degli Artisti on the theme “Work” Selected in March 2020 for the artistic project shared with the German collective Rimini Protokoll.
The work, coordinated and followed by Jörg Karrenbauer and Aljoscha Begrich of Rimini Protokoll in the role of mentors, was completely rethought during the months of lockdown. The theme of work remained central, but he decided to focus in particular on work in the world of culture and art, a theme made even more urgent by the crisis caused by the pandemic. It was decided to work precisely on contingency, considering it an opportunity, investigating the changing perception of spaces and cultural operators.
Rimini Protokoll was founded in 2000 by Stefan Kaegi, Helgard Haug and Daniel Wetzel and over the years has collaborated with various constellations of artists. The goal is to expand the means of the theater in order to create new perspectives on reality. Rimini Protokoll avails itself of the collaboration of experts, whose knowledge and skills go beyond the theater, to produce shows, radio productions and urban interventions that often translate urban spaces and social structures into theatrical formats.
Collettivo MMM (IT)
Radio Olimpia, Bomba libera tutt!, a playing field and mobile radio station hosted by a California camper, is coming to Milan.
On the playing field, set up in the new square in Via Toce in the Isola district, a series of competitions will take place in which the public, divided into teams, will challenge each other in an unprecedented form of contemporary performing Olympics.
All the games are inspired by performances by well-known and lesser-known artists.
The disciplines will be introduced live from the playing field, and the competitions will be accompanied and refereed. Each action will be commented on in the radio commentary and winners and losers will be presented.
There will be in-depth content on the performances of the artists mentioned and on the themes referred to in the games: public space, the moment of celebration, the game, non-productive time, in a succession of challenges, interviews with “special guests” and the participants who bring the frequencies in the squares of Radio Olimpia, Bomba Libera tutti, to life!

Marilyne Grimmer (FR)
Marilyne Grimmer is a French photographer and visual artist living in Brussels (Belgium).
Saluti da… (Greetings from…) is a participatory photographic project that investigates the relationship of each and every one of us with the here and the elsewhere.
Grimmer met with the inhabitants of Pergine Valsugana, Milan, Modena, Gradisca and Campsirago (Lecco), immortalising them in public space and teleporting them to memories of the past or places of dreams through photo montage.
The result is an exhibition of images that can be admired in the foyer of ZONA K and a series of surreal postcards to collect.

Guinea Pigs (IT)
The #nuovipoveri show by the young Milanese company Guinea Pigs is a multi-disciplinary research path that investigates the relation between economy and society, self-perception, representation and self-narration of wealth and poverty. Istat speaks of 5 million poor people out of a population that exceeds 42 million inhabitants: the poor exceed 11% of the total population. There are the absolute poor who cannot face a minimum expenditure necessary to purchase basic necessities and services and the relative poor who live with an average monthly expenditure equal to or less than € 667.05. So Istat says that a poor person is someone who can’t meet the minimum consumption standards, who can’t spend money because he doesn’t have enough.
The Treccani dictionary defines a poor person as “the one who has scarce economic means, who lacks the necessary money and all that money can procure”, etymologically “the one who produces little”. #nuovipoveri is a project about money and its contradictions, about the power it has to change the balance and relationship dynamics, about how days are spent, the happiness of families and the construction of the identity of an entire society. Poverty of means and resources, of relationships, of ideas and knowledge, of concrete possibilities in imagining one’s own present and a possible future. Who are the new poor nowadays? How do they describe themselves? To society? And again how do they describe their society? And how much is true in this self-narration?

The Digital Residencies project was born in 2020 from an idea of the Centro di Residenza della Toscana (Armunia, CapoTrave/Kilowatt), which since then has extended the partnership to Cooperativa Anghiari Dance Hub, Associazione Marchigiana Attività Teatrali AMAT, ATCL Associazione Teatrale dei Comuni del Lazio per Spazio Rossellini, Centro di Residenza dell’Emilia-Romagna (L’Arboreto – Teatro Dimora di Mondaino, La Corte Ospitale di Rubiera), Fondazione Luzzati Teatro della Tosse di Genova, Associazione ZONA K di Milano.
The aim is to stimulate performing arts artists to explore the digital space, as a further or different declination of their authorial research.

Corps Citoyen (IT/TN)
An audition.
An actor alone in a western scene.
Rehearsing, singing, training.
Rehearsing for the role of the hero.
But the role is not written for him.
The Others لخرین is an acid dialogue, a light and ironic work on the perception of the Other than us that moves in a hybrid territory: banal, vulgar and direct images and songs alternate with stories rooted deep in our western mentality and identity.
In a subtle balance between fiction and reality, it exposes the power device underlying the Orientalist representation of the Other, starting from the representation par excellence, stage fiction. An off-screen voice comments, gives instructions, reminds of limits and modalities. The audience is an integral part of the game. Crossing different genres, from cinema to docu-fiction, from classical theatre to advertising, Corps Citoyen reveals colonial paternalism hidden in disguise while reaffirming the right to its presence on stage of a different possible narration.

Muna Mussie (IT)
If I close my eyes and try to define my image, what do I see?
A blind mirror, a lack.
No one is master of their own image because it implies a co-relation.
What is immediate – my body, my image – is distant from me.
With Curva Cieca Muna Mussie represents this lack together with Filmon Yemane, a boy blind since the age of twelve. The fulcrum of the performance is the discovery of Muna’s mother tongue, in a dialogue between the word, sign, form and meaning. On stage, Filmon’s voice gives lessons in the Tigrigna language with the help of images from an alphabet book. The performer’s body will attempt to move within the sinuosity of this alphabet in a sort of dynamic mimesis, trying to cross the sign and incorporate it to extract another meaning.

BIO
Muna Mussie (Eritrea 1978) began her artistic career in 1998, training and working as an actress-performer with Teatrino Clandestino until 2001. In 2002 she attends the European Course of high formation for the actor, conducted by Cesare Ronconi of Teatro Valdoca and continues the collaboration as actress until 2010. From 2001 to 2005 she was a founding member of the research collective Open, where, following the performance “opentolikemunamussie” (2005), she began to develop a desire to investigate stage modes. Muna Mussie’s work, between gesture, vision and words, investigates the languages of the stage and the performing arts to give form to the tension that arises between different expressive poles. Her productions include: Più che piccola, media (2007), Con Permesso (2008), site-specific project Galata Perform Istanbul, Ti ho sognato, ma non eri il protagonista (2010). Together with Flavio Favelli she is the author of the FFMM clothing collection (2007-2009). Among her international projects: Monkey See, Monkey Do (Chapter I-II, 2011-2012); followed by the installation and performance Milite Ignoto (2015) and the performance Oasi (2018), which investigate ghostly apparitions and minor history. Among her object-based interventions, the project Punteggiatura (2018) based on the practice of sewing, which sees language as a political-affective space, is noteworthy. Curva (2019), Curva Cieca (2021), Bologna St.173 (2021), Bientôt l’été (2021), Oblio (2021).

SPECIAL PREVIEW
I Bohémien features one of Milan’s most fascinating pieces of history: the story of Brera and the young artists who lived there in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
The writing work started with historical research, the city archives and the reconstruction of early 20th century Milan and the places dear to the artists of the time. It is not an audio guide but a podcast, halfway between radio drama and documentary research, which reveals to the visitor, the spectator, the curious patron, a now vanished and unseen world experienced by the artists who began to frequent Casa degli Artisti, built in 1909, and Brera, helping to build the reputation of the artistic quarter that still survives today.
I Bohémien is the first chapter, which we present as a preview, of a narrative of Milan’s history through the artists’ twentieth century.
Working on the podcast are students and ex-students of the Brera Academy of Fine Arts; playwright Luca Scarlini; sound designer Luca De Marinis.
The podcast will be available as a preview only on 18 and 19 December 2021
