#peformative01 PerformanceFrancesca GrilliSparks 2021

A performance that explores and overturns the power play between the child and the adult, making room for children’s imagination.

The project, led by a group of local children, is based on three elements: hands, the body part that is the most exposed to the world and the point of contact between different generations; their knowing reading used by children as a game to express their imagination and desires; the sculpture-hats worn by the children who, like small oracles, become the artificers of new visions and perspectives.

Inside the museum, there will also be Rays, a video testimony of the Sparks performance created thanks to the support of Flanders State of the Arts.
