Sky Arte premieres documentary on Luca Ronconi's 1975 Venice Biennale Teatro

The documentary "75 – Biennale Ronconi Venezia," helmed by Jacopo Quadri, is set to debut on Sky Arte on Saturday, November 2. This film revisits the 1975 edition of the Venice Biennale Teatro, led by Luca Ronconi, a pivotal event in theatrical history. Following his success with "Orlando Furioso" and "Orestea," Ronconi assembled a group of emerging global talents, including Peter Brook, the Living Theatre, Jerzy Grotowski, and others. The festival attracted numerous young artists, such as Giorgio Barberio Corsetti and Sandro Lombardi, many of whom went on to have significant careers. Quadri reflects on the film as a journey into a familiar yet unknown world, akin to exploring his father's hidden drawers—his father directed the Biennale Teatro a decade later and was Ronconi's mentor. The documentary combines interviews, photographs, and archival footage, creating a vivid tapestry of memory that links the past with the present. Artribune curates the content on Sky Arte's platform.
