Enzo Cosimi

Perhaps there is enough sky on these meadows


Perhaps there is enough sky on these meadows is the outcome of a project proposed and carried out by Enzo Cosimi together with the third year students of the Accademia Nazionale D’Arte Drammatica Silvio d’Amico, and the students of Accademia di Belle Arti and of Accademia Nazionale di Danza, together with some performer from the Company. Inspired by the first part of Ecstasy Cosimi builds a training path that culminates in a site specific event. A multidisciplinary path around the theme of eros, explored with a disenchanted eye, full of humor, open to grotesque and violently pop landscapes.
