In Italian language. Con il suo primo testo di prosa e la sua prima regia, Caterina Guzzanti affronta un tema universale e su cui il dibattito oggi è più aperto e vivo che mai. Secondo lei è uno spettacolo sulla fragilità: un lungo, intimo, delicato flusso di pensiero, dal punto di vista femminile, sulle dinamiche nascoste che regolano i rapporti di coppia. Una prospettiva di parte, ma aperta e mai giudicante, che in modo perentorio pone al centro una profonda riflessione sulla giustezza della coppia a tutti i costi. Secondo lei è una storia sulla crisi tanto del maschio quanto della femmina, nella quale dolore e ironia convivono nel paradosso della coppia, in cui ognuno riconoscerà tante storie. L’amore idealizzato come luogo sicuro e salubre diventa negazione quotidiana e sistematica del bisogno e del desiderio altrui: un silenzioso campo di battaglia in cui fraintendimenti e necessità affondano, mentre il solo imbarazzante desiderio sarebbe quello di essere capiti, accettati e perdonati. Da dove viene la sensazione che per diventare adulti ci si debba rifugiare nell’altra persona anziché investire nella propria indipendenza? Secondo lei è una voce in attesa di “secondo lui”. Nel frattempo si arrangia con quel poco che le è dato sapere, secondo lei. Ticket: www.teatro-bolzano.it/

Snow does not always appear pure white, at least not to the attentive gaze of two painters like Alfons Walde or Max von Esterle. In his paintings, von Esterle poetically celebrates the magic of snow, while Walde - a little later - does so with concise expressiveness. This is the first time that these two important painters appear together in an exhibition. Alongside theirs, there are also snow-covered landscapes by other contemporary Italian and Austrian artists. All of these paintings create a variegated fabric that, unravelling, creates an unmissable spectacle. In the exhibition, of course, exponents of the art of our time with their abstract compositions or thought-provoking installations have not been left out. At the conclusion of the exhibition, in fact, at a time of climate change, a question about the ‘future of snow’ could not be left out: how much longer will we be able to enjoy this spectacle? Entry: adults € 6.00; reduced € 5.00 for seniors; free entry for children and teens under the age of 18. Combi ticket Palais Mamming Museum and Castle Principesco € 8.00.
