Voices & Borders Festival Celebrates Multiculturalism in Milan
From July 11 to 15, 2018, Fondazione Feltrinelli in Milan hosts the Voices & Borders festival, closing the Stagione Ribelle program that ran from September 2017. The festival features five artists over five days: Chris Watson (sound recording), Ariella Vidach (dance), ZimmerFrei and Carlos Casas (video), and Ater Balletto-Fondazione Nazionale della Danza. Each artist explores a keyword: water, democracy, rebellion, city, diversity. Watson opens with Oceanus, a workshop at Parco Sempione. Vidach presents The Migrant School of Bodies, a performance developed with migrant women. On July 13, Aterballetto premieres Imma – Immagini mistiche del Marocco di Aisha, a transdisciplinary work by Gabriele Licchelli and Teresa Noronha Feio. ZimmerFrei screens La beautè c’est ta tete on July 14, a documentary about Marseille. Carlos Casas closes with Avalanche, a site-specific video installation. Massimiliano Tarantino, Secretary General of Fondazione Giangiacomo Feltrinelli, states the festival experiments with performative languages as creative reservoirs.
