Dies Irae. Concerto per donne e martelli
Galina Ustvolskaya, known as the Lady with the Hammer, was a composer who embodied resistance through her essential and radical, extreme and powerful music. The hammering, obsessive sounds are interwoven with gestures and movements performed by a multigenerational community of women. On stage, they find a space to express strength, where the body becomes the object and tool of violence. Dies Irae is a performance concert, a mysterious ritual, an idea of intimate liberation from standardising powers.
The group of performers attended a workshop led by Gloria Dorliguzzo for non-professionals.
[...] a performance concert that [...] explores the theme of violence addressed in its more religious and evocative sphere, but also in a more earthly sense of violence at work and on the female body.
Space accessible to people with reduced mobility.
There is a sensory room at the performance venue.
