Ant Mill's 'Settima Estinzione' Tour Hits Four Italian Cities Starting April 27
The Ant Mill collective's audiovisual performance project, 'Settima Estinzione,' premiered in 2022 at the Nextones festival and is set to kick off its tour in Italy on April 27, 2023, starting at Biko in Milan, with subsequent stops in Venice, Turin, and Genoa. This project emerged from a residency with Jazz:Re:Found and Cittadellarte – Fondazione Pistoletto, delving into themes of evolution and extinction in light of the environmental crisis. Denis Longhi characterizes it as a complex work that showcases various artists inspired by Michelangelo Pistoletto and Elizabeth Kolbert. Supported by Compagnia di Sanpaolo, the 50-minute piece fuses music and video, reflecting on humanity's connection to nature and the 2020 Cervo stream flooding. Ruggero Poi emphasizes Pistoletto's 'Formula of Creation' to inspire new narratives.
