Laucca – Shared And Open Artistic Human Workshop
An ancient and new way of linking: dances, maps, itineraries in order to go back to being citizens.
LAUCCA is a long-term civic project which involves the Castelmezzano and Pietrapertosa municipalities. First of all, the population is invited to realise a cartographic representation of the territory– an artistic chart, which is not used for orientation but to build a shared collective portrait.
Later on, during the great open dialogue sessions between residents, there will be a confrontation with other similar European communities in order to understand similarities and differences. Finally, in a continuous exchange with the project’s archives I-DEA and Open Design School – who designs all of Matera 2019 settings in an open-air area for the residents– a great performance will be staged. A sign of practical and embedded presence on the territory in a fluid and hyper-connected world in order to turn a link from an abstract and virtual object into a visible link: the residents of Castelmezzano are inspired by the supportico architectural concept and will stage a widespread Slack-Line performance, while the citizens of Pietrapertosa will stage an aerial ballet performance, recalling the Arab culture which is at the centre of the cultural and urbanistic layout.
