The prize reserved for young Italian artists living abroad.
‘Vivo d’arte’ Award 2022
Categories: Culture and creativity
Thanks to the EXTREME/MALECANE project, Paola Pisciottano has won the fourth edition of the “Vivo D’Arte” Award, launched by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation in collaboration with Fondazione Romaeuropa and aimed at enhancing and supporting creativity and talent of young Italian artists who are permanently resident abroad. The jury unanimously recognised the adherence of the project to the guidelines of the competition announcement and the interest of a careful investigation on the urgent issues of reality, with a view to a contemporary and multilingual scenic rendering, as well as representing an innovative model of cultural production and creation.
EXTREME/MALECANE is a dramaturgy and scenic writing project that arises from a documentary investigation on the influence of extremist rhetoric on the new generations in various European countries. Field interviews with representatives of the student world and activists of some radical movements (Casa Pound in Italy, Schild & Vrienden in Belgium, Golden Dawn in Greece), enriched by the autobiographical stories of the interpreters and by facts and figures taken from the web, constitute the dramaturgic material for the development of a heterogeneous and multi-perspective stage.
The project will receive its national premiere in the next edition of the Romaeuropa Festival.
