Tuesday: All that is solid melts into air
2017
In the second creation of the Seven Years Seven Pieces project, Cláudia Dias is inspired by the universe of Osvaldo Cavandoli's cartoons. On stage, Cláudia Dias and Luca Bellezze construct a visual narrative, using a line to tell the story of a ten-year-old boy, whose grandparents were expelled first from Palestine and then from Lebanon, who travels from Syria to Italy. At a time when dividing lines, borders, barriers, the front lines and crosshairs of war conflicts, the ranks and identification lines of the refugee drama, the lines of respect for the maritime limits of nations, the hard lines of the radical factions of political and religious organizations are the order of the day, Cláudia Dias and Luca Bellezze work (on) a unifying line, capable of bringing together what is separated.
