Cosmogonia Mundi reflects on the possible futures of the City of Venice and the Port of Marghera in the form of live dance, using Northscapes Collective’s installation The Port and the Fall of Icarus on the laguna’s shore as a backdrop, and a short film documentary.
This project, which is part of a larger MMT research program, explores how new narrations of the body through space could engage with actual themes running the contemporary discourse on architecture and society. Performing Arts and Architecture meld to create a moment where Dance is not merely performance and Architecture is not permanence.
Cosmogonia Mundi, initiated by architect & urban designer Luisa Calabrese and developed with MMT collaborators (choreographer Lukas Timulak, designer Peter Bilak, dancer Valentina Scaglia and cinematographer Hector Salgado) was presented at the XVIth Architecture Venice Biennale – Freespaces. The short film documentary has been screened at Het Nieuwe Instituut in July 2018 and will participate to Cinedans Festival at the EYE Fimmuseum Amsterdam in March 2019.
