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.
BOX 1 APRIL – JULY 2021 BOX 2 SEPTEMBER – DECEMBER 2021
ECONOMY
This is the era of the “globalization of the world”, with a single worldwide market. The capitalization success on a global scale affirms that such a big economic revolution never existed.
However this system needs to take in consideration the three problematic phenomena that it may bring: inequity, instability and the environmental cost. These consequently may bring to an ecology crisis, globalization, consumes and social inequality.
According to the capacity or incapacity to get to a solution of the three critical factors, however, it seems incontrovertible that economic growth is a prerequisite to reach a more equal income distribution, given a stability to the system and a full respect for the environment.
“How would you then favor an economic growth that is both durable and sustainable?”
In 2018 the Nobel Prize for the Economy was assigned to Nordhaus and Romer, for their studies that highlight a strong relationship between macroeconomic trends, climate change and new technology. They also bring to the light the contradictions in the capitalism paradigm, underlining the necessity of political decisions in the long hall.
In 2019, with our seasonal theater, we decided to aim our goal into the economic world, to all access and distortion caused by money, to the society influenced by it, to the rebellious and victimized environment, to the technological innovation producing both economic development and social implosions.
ECONOMY is our answer to a complicated science of development models we superficially know and to a present moving so fast we can’t keep up with.
Four focuses, MONEY, SOCIETY, ECOLOGY and TECHNOLOGY. These are four aspects that we retain to be closely related to the interpretation of international artists and Italians that, like us, do not stop questioning the present.
In addition, the year 2019 strengthens the collaborations with numerous urban realities. A further confirmation of the strong necessity for a shared cultural economy. Therefore, the relationships between Teatro delle Moire/Danae Festival, Triennale Teatro dell’Arte, Teatro Franco Parenti, Stanze – esperienze di teatro d’appartamento, Olinda/TeatroLaCucina, Stratagemmi/Prospettive Teatrali, Laboratorio Lapsus, mare culturale urbano e Fattoria Vittadini are confirmed.

SOCIETY FEARS THEM. THE END IS BLUE
“We are not girls.
We are silver bullets for your middle-class brains!”
The friendship between Motta and Castracani – two middle-class girls with a shared passion for medical analysis – tells of the loss of control, the confused search for an identity, the recklessness, the challenge to themselves and the world, the investigation of their own bodies, common to many teenagers.
Inspired by Ratigher’s teen drama of the same name, Eleonora Pippo’s work enriches the plot with the experiences of the girls on stage. A parallel narrative made up of short interviews, live songs chosen by the girls themselves and letters addressed to a self from the future reveals the resources of the Post-Millennial Girls, interweaving fiction and reality that reinforce each other.
The theatre project is based on the formation of a temporary local company made up of girls between 13 and 18 years old, who – in the record time of seven days – work together with the director to create an original performance.
The performance, enriched by the installation La fine azzurra (The blue end), by Eleonora Pippo herself, is staged only once with active participation of the audience.

Eleonora Pippo (Pordenone, 1976). A pupil of Giancarlo Cobelli and Marisa Fabbri at the Scuola del Teatro Stabile di Torino, actress with Valerio Binasco, Tim Stark, Claudio Longhi, Elio De Capitani and Franco Branciaroli, she is the director of “Cinque allegri ragazzi morti IL MUSICAL LO-FI”, the independent experimental musical based on the homonymous comic strip saga by Davide Toffolo, which has conquered the most prestigious Italian stages. He works on the break of the traditional theatrical language, he avoids the scenic illusion, to enter a territory of intimate sharing with the inner world of the characters and of the audience to whom he recognizes the role of protagonist. He directed Cinque allegri ragazzi morti IL MUSICAL LO-FI L’alternativa, La festa dei morti and #tuttonuovo, Marburg, Save your wish, Come fu che in Italia scoppiò la rivoluzione ma nessuno se ne accorse by Davide Carnevali, Ulisse chatta con gli dei Amleto gioca alla playstation, Raskolnikov legge fumetti, Sotterraneo), Cinque donne con lo stesso vestito Yumiura.

FOCUS MEDIA
“The fundamental tool for the manipulation of reality is the manipulation of words.”
(Philip K. Dick)
A reflection on the relationship between the means of communication and power, and on the power of communication to condition society’s thinking, to distort the past, to read a single present and imagine incredible futures.
Are we victims of communication, enslaved to the manipulation strategies of economic and political powers, according to the formula communication=power=social control? Or are there still margins for using the media as a positive force, a tool and a road to change?
Looking at the onslaught of electronic devices that now accompany our lives as indispensable prostheses, it seems clear that the use of new tools offers us a different way of perceiving reality, increasingly poised between direct, honest information and a falsification of the same, without control.
Once again, we cast a glance at the positive force of communication, which is not only “fourth power” or “power 4.0”, but is also the force of the different languages that compose it and offer us different looks and readings.

“My Documents is a work on failure” Lola Arias
My Documents is the result of the workshop conducted by Lola Arias with a group of Italian artists, which takes its cue from the cycle of conference-shows of the same name where artists from different fields talk about their research, an experience they have lived in a radical way and a story that haunts them.
On stage there will only be the artist with his notes: a way of bringing to light the kind of research that is often lost in an unnamed folder in a computer.
This kind of lecture-performance was created in the 1960s by Joseph Beuys and Robert Smithson, a way of turning a speech into a work of art. In recent years, this format has proliferated in theatre, dance and visual arts, becoming one of the modes of conceptual theatre. Artists such as Rabih Mroué, Tim Etchells and Jérôme Bel have reinvented the genre, making these non-academic lectures a way to present and talk about research and experience.
Conceived and edited by Lola Arias Production by Luz Algranti Technical direction by Marcos Medici
El Conde De Torrefiel (ES)
A project by ZONA K, Danae Festival and Triennale Teatro dell’Arte
A conference, a Thai-Chi class and an electronic music session: these are the three scenes that make up the play. There is no obvious conflict on stage, the battle has moved inside the mind. And in the depths of these inner spaces, where freedom is confined, there is a war of thoughts that wakes up every morning and falls asleep every night without ever being resolved.
Guerrilla observes the tensions experienced by Europe: incendiary thoughts of a space of comfort. If everything advances in an apparent state of peace in which there is a feeling of security, why do we involuntarily in our heads invoke war?
The play is written by combining fiction and documentary text, based on a series of interviews with a small group of people who share the same present and the same space, in this case the city of Milan.

El Conde De Torrefiel is a company founded in Barcelona in 2010 by Tanya Beyeler and Pablo Gisbert.
Their work is articulated through a textual and visual aesthetic where theatre, choreography, literature and plastic arts coexist. The starting point of the project lies in an analysis of the present and an immediate questioning of the possibilities of our time. The company’s latest works have been presented at major European festivals including Kunstenfestivaldesarts in Brussels, Festival d’Automne in Paris, Steirischer Herbst in Graz or Dublin Theater Festival.

FOCUS NOW
A fractured Europe, new uncontrolled migrations, business tycoons turned into new Caesars, ignorance without borders, violence inside and outside the home. And vice versa: a conscious economy, multicultural societies, courageous acts by courageous people, millennials projected towards sharing, borders that resist openness.
Today seems to be a time of disorientation and uncertainty. We are anchored to a present we do not like; polls speak of mistrust and discontent; the media show images of attacks, refugees, environmental disasters; politics mainly tells of itself lost in rampant individualism. Yet reality seems to be less worse than it is perceived to be, and statistical data provide other numbers.
But then what era are we living in? Are we allowed to be optimistic about the future, or is the present nothing more than the prelude to a new Middle Ages?
For us, NOW is all that. We want to be optimistic and believe in new possible revolutions, but we look reality in the face with the eyes of artists who live and interpret the present. Whether they are caustic, provocative, irreverent, condemning or astonishing.

Fattoria Vittadini (IT)
Grip is a performance in which different approaches to art come together. Dance, video, music, storytelling, shared writing, sculpture… Grip is the adherence of wheels to the road surface, a metaphor for adherence to one’s own life.
Starting from the comparison between two personalities, one voracious, intrusive but focused on his own needs (Riccardo) and the other fluctuating, respectful, but in search of himself (Alex), we asked ourselves, through the metaphor of the car and physics (the grip between two bodies), about the sense of adhering or not adhering to one’s own life, about running it to the extreme, to the limit and maybe even to the point of losing the grip. On the sense of necessity of doing this, on what drives us to desire it. The right to individual self-determination and (consequent) happiness are rights that it is so easy not to consider as fundamental before others of first necessity. But every human being has the right to have rights that allow him or her to adhere to his or her life, to recognize and acknowledge it. To guide it.

by and with Riccardo Olivier and Alex Mc Cabe collaboration with video artist Alberto Sansone and set/costume designer Maddalena Oriani
Fattoria Vittadini was born in Milan in 2009 from the desire of the eleven students of the course of the then Atelier of Teatro-Danza of the Scuola Paolo Grassi to remain united and continue to make their way together in the field of performing arts. An extremely heterogeneous and versatile group, they adapt to the plurality of languages with an ever-increasing professionalism. Over the years they have had the opportunity to collaborate with great artists, including Lucinda Childs, Yasmeen Godder, Ariella Vidach, Virgilio Sieni, Alessandro Certini, Emanuela Tagliavia, Jean Claude Penchenat, Maria Consagra, Matanicola and Maya Carrol, without losing sight of a personal research and poetics that they continue to investigate through the creation of choreographies within the company. Fattoria Vittadini has participated in important national and international events and festivals (among others, Biennale Danza, TorinoDanza, MilanOltre, Roma Europa, Ravenna Festival, Fabbrica Europa, A-Genre Festival, Un Automne a Tisser, Diversia Festival, Fringe Festival…). In 2011 it became an active partner in RIC.CI – Reconstruction Italian Choreography 1980-1990, a project to recover contemporary Italian choreography of the 1980s and 1990s conceived by Marinella Guatterini. Since 2012 the company has been supported by the Municipality of Milan. In 2013 Fattoria Vittadini won the regional competition Teatri del Tempo Presente with the show To This Purpose Only. In July 2014 it was invited by the Festival della Valle D’Itria to be the official company for the 40th edition of the festival, taking part in the works on the bill and signing some of the choreographies. Since 2014 Fattoria Vittadini has been supported by MiBACT – Direzione Spettacolo dal Vivo. Fattoria Vittadini are: Mattia Agatiello, Chiara Ameglio, Cesare Benedetti, Noemi Bresciani, Pieradolfo Ciulli, Maura Di Vietri, Gabriele Marra, Riccardo Olivier, Francesca Penzo, MariaGiulia Serantoni, Vilma Trevisan.
FOCUS WAR
To speak of war is to speak of Europe because it was out of war and a century torn apart by conflict that the idea of a united, united, rich Europe finally took shape. A prerequisite for the longest period of peace the continent has ever known.
Today we celebrate the centenary of those wars and relive the events in commemorations, historical essays and films.
But how far back is the past? To what extent is that war, which seems so distant with its trenches and bombardments, really so? Do the contemporary wars that surround us really belong to another world?
From these questions, a reflection on today. On the Europe that does not know about bombing but closes its borders, on the responsibilities that each of us could have, on the choices we would make. On war as the ineluctable destiny of new economic, financial and media Real Politik.

[film from 12 years old]
Il Babau & i maledetti cretini
Freely adapted from E. A. Poe’s “Tales of Mystery and Terror”.
Il Babau & i maledetti cretini pays tribute to Poe by rereading, in the dim light of a cryptic and cultured rock, some of the darkest pages of the Tales of Mystery and Terror: The Truth about the Case of Mr.Valdemar and The Mask of the Red Death.
He thus gives life to a dark and engaging “Phonodrama”, a real sound translation of the tales. The result is a neurasthenic and suspenseful journey in which the spectator/listener is transported seamlessly through varied and always evocative soundscapes until the inevitable epilogue.
Damiano Casanova: electric guitar, keyboards; Franz Casanova: voice and keyboards
Il Babau &… is an artistic project suspended between music, theatre and literature founded by the Casanova brothers at the end of the last millennium. Leaving aside the song form, it reinvents phonodrama, an original musical and sound translation of literary tales with a marked propensity for the mysterious, the fantastic, the grotesque, the macabre and the bizarre.
Bluemotion
Freely inspired by the world of Gianni Rodari.
The show is also suitable for an audience of children and young people.
From 6 years of age.
A show inspired by the world of Gianni Rodari, full of intelligent stories that taste of joy, fantasy and freedom. 7 telephones scattered in the space to call and answer to be told a story. 7 voices that tell Gianni Rodari’s fairy tales live. 7 spectators at a time who can pick up the phone and listen to the hidden switchboard operators: actors-narrators from the most diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds, who tell stories and converse with listeners in all the languages of our city.
The project Favole al telefono (Tales on the phone) was born from the meeting of two main elements of Bluemotion’s research. The first concerns the construction of performative and visual devices that facilitate and investigate the sphere of communication between two individuals. The second is a reflection on storytelling as a gift, on its capacity to be an instrument of listening and dialogue.
For Bluemotion, the device is the instrument needed to create a rite. A secular rite, certainly, but one that can offer the possibility of feeling part of a community mechanism. In the case of Fables on the Telephone, the medium is the corded telephone, which has fallen into disuse years ago, as has the limitation of moving in a small space during a telephone conversation. This spatial constraint causes a sense of loss, but also of intimacy. Of loneliness, but also of wonder.
It is a brief experience of a telephone conversation with an unknown person. And what you hear is a fairy tale. The uncluttered, shadowy space houses the chaotic array of fairy tales hidden behind the handset, protecting the secret that binds two people talking on the phone without knowing each other. And in this small mysterious encounter the fairy tales become cartographies of lives, rites of passage, notes of the fantastic.
conceived and directed by Giorgina Pi; soundscape Valerio Vigliar; a production by Angelo Mai – Bluemotion
with Sara Benvenuto, Elettra Capuano, Gianluca De Rubertis, Gian Marco Di Lecce, Mauro Milone, Giorgina Pi, Laura Pizzirani, Sofia Vigliar, Valerio Vigliar, Rodrigo D’Erasmo + Roberto Dell’Era of Afterhours and Enrico Gabrielli of Calibro 35
Bluemotion is a group born in 2008 in Rome within the artistic and political experience of Angelo Mai. Performers, directors, musicians and visual artists come together to create from their own suggestions, comparing their views on the present and on art. The works of Bluemotion are always collective creations, the result of the exchange and visions of the members of the group.
Takla Improvising Group
ingresso: € 6,00 a persona
Pubblico max 90 tra adulti e bambini disposti a semicerchio sullo stesso livello dei performer.
Età: 0>100. Ottimale famiglie con bambini 0>7 anni
Musica: Tutti gli strumenti sono acustici. Non è richiesta amplificazione.
Durata: 45 minuti
Piccole Meraviglie è un progetto innovativo e sperimentale dell’associazione culturale Takla Improvising Group, attiva sul territorio lombardo dal 1998 nella diffusione della pratica dell’improvvisazione di musica, danza, teatro e arti visive. Piccole Meraviglie è la versione made in Italy del progetto olandese Wonderland. Ha debuttato alla Triennale di Milano nel 2011 grazie al sostegno di Fondazione Cariplo nell’ambito del progetto diresidenze Etre e ad oggi è stata vista e “vissuta” da circa 2.500 famiglie.
Si tratta di una performance di danza e musica dal vivo rivolta a bambini e genitori. Più che una performance per i bambini è una performance con i bambini: prevede un primo momento in cui i bambini sono solo spettatori di un evento improvvisativo di danza e musica dal vivo ed una seconda parte in cui bambini diventano performer. Tutto avviene attraverso la comunicazione non verbale e i bambini, una volta preso il coraggio di “entrare” in scena, diventano piccoli artisti che dialogano con i performer, comunicando con loro attraverso il corpo e i suoni.
Piccole Meraviglie è una filosofia di pensiero, che accoglie i bambini di ogni età e di ogni colore uniti dal linguaggio non verbale. Crea e favorisce l’integrazione, abbatte le barriere. È un modo di “fare” e “sentire” l’arte, la scena, il teatro.

PRIMO STUDIO – UMANITÁ – LIBRO I travels through time and space in a magical landscape with a performative flavour, crossing oceans, galaxies and cities to explore the story of a Nature of which Man is a part. In the inability to penetrate it fully, Humanity Book I tries to understand the language through which Nature speaks and feels. It questions evolutionary intelligence, the planetary landscape, ecological threats and conscious individual action. It speaks with the imagined voice of Nature through life forms other than Man, who rarely appears in this account, no longer in his anthropocentric version of observer and dominator, but as the observed. In any case, Man does not know Nature’s point of view, so he must rely on dreams.
– Once man is freed from his presumed and inconsistent self-sufficiency, his profound interactions with the environment are coming to light. The crisis of anthropocentric self-referentiality has proceeded with the emergence of new, more complexly ecocentric instances. – Franco Brevini
Who’s on the scene > two Turritopsis Dohrnii or immortal jellyfish capable of transforming their cells from a mature state back to immaturity, in other words they never die. They have now mastered the evolutionary question and are over 500 million years old in our history since their appearance on the planet. Jelly A is tired of the continuous metamorphic cycle and dreams of evolving into another form; Jelly B experiences the omnipotence of immortality and the supremacy of the species. They have always had the same beckettsian speeches, until something changes their set-up, a strange black wave brings them very close to an unexpected end that they thought unlikely.
– Humanity’s ten-thousand-year-old experiment to adopt a way of life at the expense of nature is failing. A new worldview based on the planetary ecosphere shows us the way. – World Charter for Nature
The Process > Humanity Book I speaks to the audience in the form of a collage of words, videos, music and video art works. The narrative is not linear: it involves the intersection of real-life scenes, magical-realist characters, psychological landscapes, vox populi video interviews of contemporary humans. We use existing and original texts with an emphasis on the emotional and evocative component. Our dramaturgy comes from improvisations, stage writing, and physical compositions. We are inspired by Beckett’s synthesis, A. Kiefer’s painting, Magic Realism and technical-scientific language.
– The survival of the world depends on wildness. The wild is inside us, it is a dream we carry within us. – Thoureau

production Ever New Bestiary
Novissimo Bestiario is an articulated research project that intends to survey the “imaginary beings” of the contemporary world. The series of performances entitled Appunti is intended as a preparatory investigation for Bestiario, focusing on the relationship between “imaginary beings and human beings”. The odd notes make use of video body mapping and participatory creation. The single notes are the stratification of the contributions of the guest-artists, invited to reshape the body-images according to their own poetic research.
Fedra Boscaro and Tommaso Arosio compose an intelligent critical reflection on the perception (and use) of the body, surfing the western pop imagery. Their bestiary represents and highlights the most stereotyped aspects of what is sought and demanded from the female physicality; these same aspects are then decomposed, corrupted so as to suggest how infinite the ways of beauty can become. The notes thus take shape as an ongoing project enriched by continuous contributions from a variety of sources. Thanks to the superimposition of the real body and the virtual body, the work shows the gap between the two dimensions, refuting the supposed indical relationship between the physical object and its two-dimensional representation” (F.Patti)

Her fertility is in doubt. Perhaps she will not be able to procreate. Until now he has not considered the problem. All it takes is one element not working to destabilise the whole.
A parental tutorial on adaptability and survival. Making up for the possible absence of a child. Caring for those who, having been born, are destined to perish. The possibility of not generating another life, another skeleton. Cow bones, emblem of the primary nourishment: milk. Encounter between body and ex-body. One inert in substance, the other incapable of its natural functions, they meet, they converse mute.
An unexpected short-circuit causes the gap between mimesis and reality.
Strategy K reworks the story of hysteria (one of the most complex paradigms of the mind-body problem), a pathology that was once believed to be linked to problems of procreation, reconnecting with the “real” problem of presumed infertility of the performer on stage and creating a new physical score drawing on extra-theatrical sources such as ethology, such as the Iconographie photographique de la Salpêtrière, a visionary and obsessive reservoir of ante-litteram pain spectacularization, or Didi Huberman’s thought (especially her L’invenzione dell’interia).
The spectacularization of pain and private drama, which today has reached dizzying heights, has older origins than we think: in the late nineteenth century, the alleged hysterics of the Salpêtrière were literally put on stage, made to perform in front of an audience of doctors, forced to have attacks and rewarded with a final applause.
Elisa Turco Liveri and Salvatore Insana met in 2010 in the Meta-Teatro space in Rome. The project they are part of tries to bring together theatre and video in the sign of a continuous research in which the two languages maintain their own specificity and at the same time are able to generate new forms of expression. In recent years they have produced video-theatrical works (A pezzi; Nelle pieghe; Land(e)scapes, In Negativo, Space-Time Lapse), audiovisual research projects (Aperture; In pieces; Recognition; Radici; Hunger; L’altra velocità) and photographic investigations (Space-time Lapse, Umano non umano; Folds, Contre nature).

Three amorous fragments constructed from an encounter with contemporary author Tiziano Scarpa. An author whose writing provides an attentive and ironic look at the state of love today. Three lives caught in a crucial moment: having a child, moving, choosing whether to love. A theatrical script made up of images and actions, of thoughts that take on body and voice. The theatre enters private homes, enters everyday spaces for a close encounter between audience and stage action. The public enters the life of a person, his emotional world, his fears and desires.
An intense experience, a moment of strong sharing, then the lady of the house awaits new guests, we return to the world with a convivial moment of food, wine and talk about what we have just experienced.
