Summer 2007, just months after graduation. In late May I found the opportunity to scrape together € uri two working as a "driver" on behalf of the Metastasio Theatre during the festival of contemporary theater, "Contemporary 2007".
Honestly, first of all I did for money. I was not a theatrical, let alone one who particularly want to lick your ass left and right to appear. I put a good buzz working as an idiot, however, since the relationship with my other colleagues were excellent, and the frenzy of the organization had taken me too well.
Thus, given my limited knowledge of French, due to the numerous travels of luck (with the bands desinée, or comics) in France, I became a volunteer for the acceptance of a French company, incidentally, would have his own show in Montemurlo, where I lived: the Théâtre de Chambre .
I been reading a little, but I was immediately struck by the lightness of the site, which then opened with a piece of music circus, and with minimal graphics accompanied you to discover the world of this strange company, which apart from the few lines written, the he only knew who lived in northern France in an old factory railway SNCF: La Florentine.
The next day I went to meet them rode, and I was immediately struck by their simplicity and conviviality (knowing I was not expecting a great heat from the French), and they returned to Florence and Prato, offered me to dine and get drunk with them, and it was. The next day I met the producer of the company, the engineer and their fellow workers the Italian Theatre of Arlette.
Hired as a driver, but views the absence of the organizational part of the theater in the territory of Montemurlo, I went over backwards to lend a hand to the success of everything, especially when I realized that as the assembly was advancing , I witnessed a wonderful spectacle, the limits of reality. my sensitive antenna surreal stood attentively.
came the day of the first, he replied the next day.
Meanwhile, at their express request, once you know I was making small low-definition video, especially for pleasure, I was able to show three or qattro of my work.
Christophe Piret and producer Pierre Laly were warm in the comment, I really did not feel up to their comments, especially because I had seen their wonderful performance and I was struck by stage machinery to which they were created as a container of high drama Theatre of Arlette.
was time to say goodbye, short but intense, with the promise to meet again soon.
The party goes on, there were other interesting things, other important meetings.
but no more now I am excited as they had done.
I was preparing for a summer of Prato, or rather, montemurlese, lost in the heat with a few unfortunate uprooted like me to look cool in the trees of Galceti beers or a few days the club, and Camelot in the evening.
but this expectation was less than ten days.
Pierre called me, asked me to climb from there up to twenty days in the North was preparing for a great show at a major festival. I knew little or nothing: an installation, a video on the faces, a record of the show, they needed someone like me.
did not believe, as I did not think of being able to work with them, but there was nothing else to do.
immediately said yes, and ten days after I left, for the experience more than any other would have scored at least until today, my professional and artistic life.
And so I found myself in front of the singular world of Treffenplatz.
Here's the video (made by me) show that after three years I put online soon .... tell that experience in detail and remarkable adventure.
WOW!
