Pescara, the show "Cosmogonia" is arriving at the Cineteatro Circus.

Thursday 26 January, pm 21:00, at Circus Cinematheatre di Pescara, Will be held Cosmogony, a dance-theatre and music show promoted by Pescarabruzzo Foundation in tribute to Mario Schifano, on the day of twenty-fifth since his disappearance. Cosmogonia is part of the Foundation's broader project dedicated to one of the major Italian artists on the international and international scene Nine hundred: the permanent exhibition Mario Schifano. The triumph of Italian Pop Art inaugurated on 1 January 2023 at the 'Imago Museum, a large retrospective that celebrates with special originality the artist, the first of the major protagonists of the group Piazza del Popolo school and then a leading exponent of the International Pop Art.

After the acquisition in 2020, the Pescarabruzzo Foundation brings it back to the stage Cosmos, the circular canvas of beyond 7 meters in diameter created thirty years ago from Schifano collaborating with the composer Marco Schiavoni, the choreographer Aurelio Gatti and the director Patrick Latronica to the staging of “Two mothers”. The theme of the mother will be taken up again a few years later by the master with the pictorial cycle Mother Matuta, one of the most important pictorial nuclei of Italian art of the twentieth century, and part of the permanent exhibition set up at the Imago Museum.

The big canvas Cosmos will welcome like a stage Cosmogony, the new show that will be staged on 26st January, led by the actor Sebastiano Tringali, with the vocalist Chiara Meschini and the dance of Carlotta Bruni, Rosa Merlino, Paola Saribas, Matteo Gentiluomo, Elisa Carta Carosi: a scenario in which the chromatic spiral of the painting breaks out, releasing the energy of bodies, music, words and singing.

“The idea and the subject of Cosmo were defined in a few meetings in Piazza del Popolo and the work was born in less than a week,” he recalls Aurelio Gatti, artistic director of MDA Danza. “The creation of the canvas and its support was more complex, a circle 7 meters in diameter placed on an inclined wooden platform. The tacit agreement to do something non-decorative or intended for exhibition only was the basis of his creation, and the idea of ​​a painting for 'work on it... dance on it'in short, a stage. Today with Cosmogonia we want to celebrate above all the 'pleasure of discovery' of Schifano, and for this reason we therefore compare it to Eratosthenes, famous scholar of the cosmos of the ancient age, like our Schifano curious about everything, thirsty for knowledge and guided by love for life".

“With this event we want to celebrate Mario Schifano 25 years after his death by bringing the opera Cosmo back on stage, through a triumph of art forms, gathered in a single moment: theatre, dance, music and obviously great painting. I thank the Society of Theater and Music for having included the show in their concert series and the teacher Aurelio Gatti for having enthusiastically welcomed the return to the stage of the opera which will give the audience in the theater a show that personifies the sublime art of Mario Schifano. A cultural tension that does not end in the time of the show, but which makes alive and inexhaustible the spiral of culture, art and passion that Schifano wanted to represent with Cosmo, as a universal message to continue the search for beauty in art with tenacity and curiosity . The painted carpet, a unicum in the history of art (perhaps not only contemporary), embellishes the already prestigious collection of the Pescarabruzzo su Schifano Foundation in an incomparable way", declares Nicola Mattoscio, President of the Pescarabruzzo Foundation.

Entrance is free while places last.
