Poised between performance, installation and dance, “Stiamo lavorando per voi (ci scusiamo per il disagio) / “We are working for you (sorry for the inconvenience)” , presents itself as a “Celibe Machine” capable of self-powering: an urban construction site that exists only to be a construction site. Creation manifests itself in the same process as the creative act, just as work materializes in the very creation of the workplace. «Road signs with orange stripes, workers eating sandwiches, old men looking at the construction site and the construction site breathing and changing over time and space, expanding, moving and shifting limits and boundaries that profile its presence (choreography of a place) and when it reaches its complete form… it disappears. Why do construction sites, scaffolding and other functional architecture seem cluttered and an obstacle to us when they are something that belongs to us?
Bio
Claudio Larena: Author and performer who ranges between the languages of installation, dance and performance. He trained in non-academic contexts, taking part in workshops with national and international artists, with particular attention to the performance field. After the studio debut of his first work (“Calcinacci”), at the Romaeuropa Festival 2020, he continues his creative path with the creation of three new projects: “-LENA” ; “Le spinte”; “Stiamo lavorando per voi (ci scusiamo per il disagio)” . His first experience in the theatrical field sees him as an interpreter-performer of the show “Atto di Adorazione” by Dante Antonelli, which debuts in 2019 at the Romaeuropa Festival. After this experience he concentrated on an authorial path. His research always takes the form of different formats: urban performance and stage writing. A craftsman by training, he often questions the entity of objects, their meanings, the physical, historical or conceptual relationship that arises from our relationship with them. During these years, his research has been developed thanks to the support of: Corte Ospitale; Teatro dimora Mondaino; Capotrave-Kilowatt; Fondazione Armunia; Chiasma; Carrozzerie NOT; A.Associati; Mare Culturale Urbano; Associazione Demetra; Lavanderia a Vapore; Ater Balletto..
