Atravès, de travers
10/07/2021 — 11/07/2021
The space of KANAL, charged with its industrial history, becomes the place to ritualise the love relationship, the renovation of the place becomes an opportunity for transformation, to integrate the past and the possibilities that arise.

Performance
Calixto Neto
OH! RAGE
24/10/2020 — 25/10/2020
Calixto Neto’s Oh! Rage works on making minority bodies visible, and on remodelling their imaginaries. Based on a research into “peripheral” dances, in other words those that have been developed on the margins of institutional frameworks, his first solo focuses on the representation of black bodies, grasped at the crossroads between several emancipation discourses. He brings in the movements of Afropunk and Afrofuturisme, post-colonial research, especially covering Brazil, black studies and contemporary art.

Paper Lane
17/10/2020 — 18/10/2020
Paper Lane represents an act of resistance in the face of the digital revolution, the profusion of overabundance and high-speed and high-tech life, that destroy the silence necessary for meditation, introspection and reflection. This act is based on the observation of the need for a radical deceleration and is inspired by the book Alienation and Acceleration: Towards a Critical Theory of Late-Modern Temporality by the German sociologist and philosopher Hartmut Rosa.

Lecture on Nothing, John Cage
15/10/2020 — 16/10/2020
Non-conformist as he was, John Cage chose to turn a lecture about his music into a work that is not even a lecture (at the most, it keeps up appearances) and is not even about his music. "Nothing" is literally the most important subject, in a text in which Cage collects anecdotes, makes references to Zen Buddhism (which he was deeply involved in at the time) and above all plays an amusing game with the audience's expectations.
