Throat (2015-07-09) by Romano MagronePergine Spettacolo Aperto

INTRODUCTION TO THE 40TH EDITION

Festival Pergine Spettacolo Aperto turns 40 years old. It's time to think about groving older and the opportunity to provocatively deal with a critical issue: life as passage, birth and death as pivotal moments. International performers, shows, installations, scientific studies, workshops and well-being itineraries are part of a rich calendar of events. Nine days dedicated to those who say..."I WANNA BE FOREVER YOUNG"!

Paternity Blues (2015-07-10) by Romano MagronePergine Spettacolo Aperto

Contemporary western society is seduced by the myth of eternal youth, looking for a way to suspend time like the limitless life of Dorian Grey. The beginning and the end are considered taboos.

Throat (2015-07-09) by Romano MagronePergine Spettacolo Aperto

The 40th festival wants to reverse the process and focus on the thresholds of life-two moments as important as suggestive. Nine days dedicated to shows, installations, workshop and much more.
